A. Origins of Charge Deficiencies
1. Imperfections in the crystal lattice -Isomorphous substitution.• The cations in the octahedral or tetrahedral sheet can be replaced by
different kinds of cations without change in crystal structure (similar physical size of cations).
For example, Al3+ in place of Si4+ (Tetrahedral sheet) Mg2+ instead of Al3+(Octahedral sheet)unbalanced charges (charge deficiencies)
• This is the main source of charge deficiencies for montmorillonite.• Only minor isomorphous substitution takes place in kaolinite.

2. Imperfections in the crystal lattice - The broken edge
The broken edge can be positively or negatively charged.

Kaolinite particles are positively charged on their edges when in a low pH environment, but negatively charged in a high pH (basic) environment.

3. Proton equilibria (pH-dependent charges)
H+ bound tightly, so the lower the pH, the less exchange there is (i.e., lower nutrient availability)
Especially important in kaolinite, humus, where no internal charge imbalance

• 4. Adsorbed ion charge (inner sphere complex charge and outer sphere complex charge)
Ions of outer sphere complexes do not lose their hydration spheres. The inner complexes have direct electrostatic bonding between the central atoms.

C. “Charged” Clay Particles • External or interlayer surfaces are
negatively charged in general.• The edges can be positively or
negatively charged.• Different cations balance charge
deficiencies.

The water molecule “locked” in the adsorbed layers has different properties compared to that of the bulk water due to the strong attraction from the surface.

2. Ion hydration

Clay layers
cation
The cations are fully hydrated, which results in repulsive forces and expanding clay layers (hydration energy).
Na+ crystal radius: 0.095 nm
radius of hydrated ion: 0.358 nm

E. Clay-Water Interaction (Cont.)
The concentration of cations is higher in the interlayers (A) compared with that in the solution (B) due to negatively charged surfaces. Because of this concentration difference, water molecules tend to diffuse toward the interlayer in an attempt to equalize concentration.
