Radius Ratio Principle – •cation-anion distance can be calculated from their effective ionic radii•cation coordination depends on relative radii between cations and surrounding anions•Geometrical calculations reveal ideal Rc/Ra ratios for selected coordination numbers•Larger cation/anion ratio yields higher C.N.  as C.N. increases, space between anions increases and larger cations can fit•Stretching a polyhedra to fit a larger cation is possiblePauling’s Rules for ionic structures2. Electrostatic Valency Principle–Bond strength = ion valence / C.N.–Sum of bonds to an ion = charge on that ion–Relative bond strengths in a mineral containing >2 different ions:•Isodesmic – all bonds have same relative strength•Anisodesmic – strength of one bond much stronger than others – simplify much stronger part to be an anionic entity (SO42-, NO3-, CO32-)•Mesodesmic – cation-anion bond strength = ½ charge, meaning identical bond strength available for further bonding to cation or other anionPauling’s Rules for ionic structures3. Sharing of edges or faces by coordinating polyhedra is inherently unstable–This puts cations closer together and they will repel each otherPauling’s Rules for ionic structures4. Cations of high charge do not share anions easily with other cations due to high degree of repulsion5. Principle of Parsimony – Atomic structures tend to be composed of only a few distinct components – they are simple, with only a few types of ions and bonds.Isoelectronic series•Ions of different elements with equal numbers of electrons are said to be isoelectronic•Example: Al3+, Si4+, P5+, S6+, Cl7+ each have how many e-??•Size patterns can be related to the concept of shielding vs. electrostatic interaction•For any element – how would charge and size be related??Goldschmidt’s rules of Substitution1. The ions of one element can extensively replace those of another in ionic crystals if their radii differ by less than about 15%2. Ions whose charges differ by one may substitute readily if electrical neutrality is maintained – if charge differs by more than one, substitution is minimal3. When 2 ions can occupy a particular position in a lattice, the ion with the higher ionic potential
