Question 7 (0.5 points). Crystal structure and conductivity of calcium
Calcium crystallizes in a cubic close-packed (ccp) structure.
a)
[0.4 points] Calculate the density of calcium in .
Data: Atomic weight = ; unit cell edge .
g/cm³
b)
[0.1 points] Indicate the electrical conductivity behavior of calcium and justify it based on band theory.

Solución
Según los criterios oficiales de corrección
a) Calculate the density of calcium in g/cm³.
Solución: 1.54
b) Indicate the electrical conductivity behavior of calcium
Solución: Electrical conductor / Conductor
b) justify it based on band theory.
Solución: Its electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s². Although the 4s valence band is completely filled, it overlaps in energy with the empty, higher-energy 4p conduction band (zero band gap). This allows electrons to be easily promoted into available states under an electric field.
