Question 8.
A cubic solid is made of two elements P and Q. Atoms of Q are at the corners of the cube and P at the body-centre. What is the formula of the compound? What are the coordination numbers of P and Q?
Answer:
The atom at the corner makes 1/8 contribution while atom at body centre makes 1 contribution to the unit cell.
No. of atoms of Q per unit cell = 8 × 1/8 = 1
No. of atoms of P per unit cell = 1 × 1 = 1 Therefore, formula of the compound is PQ.
The atom at the body centre would be in contact with all the atoms at the corners. Hence, the coordination number of P is 8.
Similarly, coordination number of Q is 8 because it is shared by 8 other atoms.

Question 10.
If NaCl is doped with 10^-3 mol % of SrCl₂, what is the concentration of cation vacancies?
Answer:
Every Sr²⁺ ion causes one cation vacancy (because two Na⁺ ions are replaced by one Sr²⁺ and it occupies the site of one Na⁺ ion and the other site remains vacant.) Therefore, introduction of 10^-3 moles of SrCl₂ per 100 moles of NaCl would introduce 10^-3 moles cation vacancies in 100 moles of NaCl.
No. of vacancies per mole of NaCl = [latex]\frac{10^{-3}}{100}\) × 6.02 × 10²³ = 6.02 × 10¹⁸

Question 5.
1. Packing efficiency is the percentage of total space filled by the particles. Which of the following lattices has the highest packing efficiency? Simple cubic lattice, body centered cubic lattice, hexagonal close packed lattice.

2. An element has a body centred cubic structure with a cell edge of 288 pm. The density of the element is 7.2 g/cm³. How many atoms are present in 208 g of the element?
Answer:
1. Hexagonal close packed lattice.

2. a = 288 pm = 288 × 10^-10 cm
Volume of the unit cell = (288 × 10^-10cm)³
= 23.9 × 10^-24cm³
Volume of 208 g of the element

For bcc structure, number of atoms in one unit cell = 2
∴ Number of atoms in 208 g = 2 × 1.208 × 10²⁴
= 2.416 × 10²⁴

Question 6.
Derive packing efficiency of

1. ccp and hep structure
2. Body centered cubic
3. Simple cubic

Answer:
1. Packing Efficiency in ccp and hep Structures:
In the case of ccp and hep, the edge length

We know that each unit cell in ccp structure has 4 spheres.
Volume of sphere = 4πr33
Volume of the cube = a³

2. Packing Efficiency of Body Centred Cubic Structures:
In this case radius of a sphere.

We know that bcc has 2 spheres in the unit cell.
∴ Packing efficiency = 2×43πr3[(43√r)]3 × 100% = 68%

3. Packing Efficiency is Simple Cubic Lattice:
In simple cubic lattice edge length ‘a’ and radius of the sphere ‘r’ are related as,

We know that a simple cubic unit cell contains only one sphere.
∴ Packing efficiency = 1×43πr3(2r)3 × 100%
= 52.36%
= 52.4%

Cell edge a = 5.0Å = 5.0 × 10^-1 m = 5 × 10^-8 cm
Density = 3.8 g/cm³ Molecular mass of FeO = 56 + 16 = 72 u
N_A = 6.022 × 10²³

Each cell contain 4 FeO molecule every FeO molecule contain one Fe²⁺ and one O^2- ion. So no. of Fe²⁺ ion =4 no.of O^2- ion = 4

2. Classify the following solids into isotropic and anisotropic.
   Polyvinylchloride, Rubber, Glucose, Glass

Answer:

2. Anisotropic-Glucose
   Isotropic – Glass, Rubber, Polyvinylchloride

 

Question 4.
The common salt, sodium chloride is an example for a crystal system with edge length a = b = c and axial angles α = β = γ = 90°.

1. Identify the crystal system.
2. What happens when sodium chloride crystal is heated in presence of sodium?

Answer:

1. Cubic crystal
2. Gives yellow colour to the crystal due to F centre, ie. electron trapped anion vaccancy. It is a metal excess defect.

Question 5.
Stoichiometric defects are of two types such as vacancy defects and interstitial defects.

1. Which defect is basically a vacancy defect in ionic solids?
2. Which stoichiometric defect causes the decrease in density of solid?
3. On heating white ZnO it turns yellow. Which is the crystal involved here? Explain.

Answer:

1. Schottky defect
2. Schottky defect
3. It is due to metal excess defect caused by the presence of extra cations at interstitial sites. ZnO is white in colour at room temperature. On heating it loses oxygen and turns yellow.

The excess Zn²⁺ ions move to interstitial sites and the electrons to neighbouring interstitial sites. The yellow colour of non-stoichiometric ZnO (Zn_1+xO) is due to these trapped electrons.

Question 6.

1. Why is Frenkel defect not found in alkali metal halides?
2. A crystalline solid has simple cubic structure in which P atoms are present at the corners, Q atoms are present at the edge centres and R atoms are present at the centre of the unit cell. What is the formula of the compound?

Answer:

2. Number of atoms of P = 1/8 × 8 = 1
Number of atoms of Q = 1/4 × 12 = 3 4
Number of atoms of R = 1

   • I₂
   • Plastic
   • LiBr
   • SiC

1. Classification of solids as ionic, metallic, molecular, network or amorphous.
   • I₂ – Molecular
   • Plastic – Amorphous
   • LiBr – Ionic
   • SiC – Covalent
2. Differences between Conductors, insulators & semi conductors.
   • Conductors:
     The valence band overlaps with the conduction band or no energy gap exists between them.
   • Insulators:
     The energy gap between valance band and conduction band is very large. Hence electrons from valence band cannot move into the conduction band. Semi conductors have small energy gap between valence band and conduction band.

   • In a cubic close-packed lattice?
   • In a body-centred cubic structure?

Answer:

1. The number of nearest neighbours in a packing is called coordination number.
2. The coordination number of atoms
   • In cubic-close packed structure each atom is in direct contact with 12 other atoms. Hence, its coordination number is 12.
   • In a body centred cubic structure coordination number is 8

Question 3.
How many lattice points are there in one unit cell of each of the following lattice?

1. Face-centred cubic
2. End-centred monoclinic
3. Body-centred

Answer:
1. A face-centred cubic unit cell has lattice points at the corners of the cube and at face centres. There are eight comers and six faces of the cube. Each atom at corner makes a contribution of 1/8 while each atom at face centre makes a contribution of 1/2 to the unit cell.

Therefore, the number of atoms per unit cell
= 8 × 1/8 + 6 × 1/2 = 1 + 3 = 4

2. A end-centred monoclinic unit cell has lattice points at the face centres of only one set (two) of faces, in addition to the lattice points at the comers of the unit cell.

Question 4.
A cubic solid is made of two elements P and Q. Atoms of Q are at the corners of the cube and P at the body-centre. What is the formula of the compound? What are the coordination numbers of P and Q?
Answer:
The atom at the corner makes 1/8 contribution while atom at body centre makes 1 contribution to the unit cell.
No. of atoms of Q per unit cell = 8 × 1/8 = 1
No. of atoms of P per unit cell = 1 × 1 = 1 Therefore, formula of the compound is PQ.
The atom at the body centre would be in contact with all the atoms at the corners. Hence, the coordination number of P is 8.
Similarly, the coordination number of Q is 8 because it is shared by 8 other atoms.

Question 5.
If NaCl is doped with 10^-3 mol % of SrCl₂, what is the concentration of cation vacancies?
Answer:
Every Sr²⁺ ion causes one cation vacancy (because two Na⁺ ions are replaced by one Sr²⁺ and it occupies the site of one Na⁺ ion and the other site remains vacant.) Therefore, introduction of 10^-3 moles of SrCl₂ per 100 moles of NaCl would introduce 10^-3 moles cation vacancies in 100 moles of NaCl.
No. of vacancies per mole of NaCl = 10⁻³/100 × 6.02 × 10²³ = 6.02 × 10¹⁸
