The law of multiple proportions, states that chemical compounds contain fixed integral ratios of atoms. In fact, nonstoichiometric compoundsA solid that has intrinsically variable stoichiometries without affecting the fundamental structure of the crystal. contain large numbers of defects, usually vacancies, which give rise to stoichiometries that can depart significantly from simple integral ratios without affecting the fundamental structure of the crystal. Nonstoichiometric compounds frequently consist of transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides, with polarizable anions such as oxide (O2−) and sulfide (S2−). Some common examples along with their basic structure type. These compounds are nonstoichiometric because their constituent metals can exist in multiple oxidation states in the solid, which in combination preserve electrical neutrality.
Table 1.1 Some Non-stoichiometric Compounds
Compound | Observed Range of x |
---|---|
Oxides* | |
FexO | 0.85–0.95 |
NixO | 0.97–1.00 |
TiOx | 0.75–1.45 |
VOx | 0.9–1.20 |
NbOx | 0.9–1.04 |
Sulfides | |
CuxS | 1.77–2.0 |
FexS | 0.80–0.99 |
ZrSx | 0.9–1.0 |
*All the oxides listed have the sodium chloride structure. |
One example is iron(II) oxide (ferrous oxide), which produces the black color in clays and is used as an abrasive. Its stoichiometry is not FeO because it always contains less than 1.00 Fe per O2− (typically 0.90–0.95). This is possible because Fe can exist in both the +2 and +3 oxidation states. Thus the difference in charge created by a vacant Fe2+ site can be balanced by two Fe2+ sites that have Fe3+ ions instead [+2 vacancy = (3 − 2) + (3 − 2)]. The crystal lattice is able to accommodate this relatively high fraction of substitutions and vacancies with no significant change in structure.
