    Models For Crystal Structures

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses different models used to represent crystal structures, including wire frame models that show only points for atoms and cell edges, ball and stick models that show both atoms and edges but atoms do not touch, and space filling models where atoms touch but unit cell edges may not be visible. It also mentions void models where the void or polyhedron formed by vertices is fully visible while other elements are hidden.

    A note on kind of models used for representation of Crystal Structures

    Wire Frame model Ball & Stick Model

    Atoms are reduced to points and the Both atoms & cell edges are in view
    focus is on the cell edges (but atoms do not touch each other)

    Cubic void
    Void Models

    Space Filling Model

    Where the void (actually the polyhedron


    Atoms touch each other. formed by the vertices of the void) is in full
    Unit cell edges may not be visible view and everything else is hidden away
    Note: though these are called space filling models in reality they do not fill space
