1. Classify the following as discrete molecules or solid state compounds with extended structures. 2. Which of the following combinations of atoms do you expect to yield a discrete molecule and which should produce an extended solid? Ba,o_ Ge,H 3. Gallium cyanide has a cubic structure with the Ga atomssitting at the eight corners of the cube and the (CN) ligands aligned along the 12 edges of the cube: (a) What is the molecular formula of the compound?, What is the oxidation number of Ga? tb) How many ormula units per cell Esxplain your answer using fractional Ga and N contributions. (c) Is the unit cell primitive or non-primitive? Is it simple cubic, body centered or face centered cubic? Please explain. (d) What is the coordination of the Ga atom (how many CN ligands surround the Ga atom)? (e) What in the coordination of the CN ligand? Does the answer make chemical sense? Explain. (f) Estimate the average Ga-C (or Ga-N) bond length given that the unit cell parameter is a = 5.293 A and the triple bonded C-N bond length is 1.125 A in the structure. Assume Ga-N and Ga-C hve the same bond lengths. Please show your work. 4. CsCI has a bcc structure. What is the coordination number of Cs primitive or non-primitive? Justify your answer CI In the unit cell
