Solid State 3D 1.2

Solid State 3D offers a comprehensive approach to visualizing various cubic unit cells, packing arrangements, and void types in three dimensions. The application includes three distinct unit cell types, five packing configurations, and two types of voids.

This app addresses the following key topics:

1. Types of Unit Cells:
   • Primitive/Simple cubic unit cell.
   • Body-centered cubic unit cell (bcc).
   • Face-centered cubic unit cell (fcc).
2. Types of Packing:
   • Packing in one dimension.
   • Packing in two dimensions.
   • Packing in three dimensions.
3. Types of Voids:
   • Tetrahedral void.
   • Octahedral void.

The application also allows users to conceptualize crystal lattices by visualizing all associated unit cells.

Purpose of Development:

The inherent challenge in studying unit cells, packing, and voids lies in their three-dimensional nature, which is often presented in two-dimensional formats within chemistry textbooks. This app aims to enhance the understanding of these concepts by providing a three-dimensional visualization tool, ultimately aiding students in their comprehension of solid-state structures.
