Question 11. In which of the following crystals alternate tetrahedral voids are occupied?
  1.    NaCl
  2.    ZnS
  3.    CaF2 
  4.    Na2O
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> ZnS
:
B
InZnSstructure, sulphide ions occupy allFCClattice points while Zn2+ions are present in alternate tetrahedral voids.
Question 12. In a face centered cubic cell, an atom at the face contributes to the unit cell
  1.    14 part
  2.    18 part
  3.    1 part
  4.    12 part
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 12 part
:
D
In fcc, an atom at the center is shared by two unit cells.
So, it contributes 12to each of them.
Question 13. Which of the following substances will make a better permanent magnet?
  1.    Paramagnetic
  2.    Ferromagnetic
  3.    Ferrimagnetic
  4.    Diamagnetic
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Ferromagnetic
:
B
In solid state, the metal ions of ferromagnetic substances are grouped together into small regions calleddomains. Thus, each domain acts as a tiny magnet. In an unmagnetised piece of a ferromagnetic substance the domains are randomly oriented and their magnetic moments get cancelled. When the substance is placed in a magnetic field all the domains get oriented in the direction of the magnetic field and a strong magnetic effect is produced. This ordering of domains persist even when the magnetic field is removed and the ferromagnetic substance becomes a permanent magnet.
Question 14. What percentage of crystal space in fcc arrangement is vacant?
  1.    74%
  2.    32%
  3.    68%
  4.    26%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 26%
:
D
In face-centered cubic arrangement, 74% of the crystal space is filled

  • Vacant space = 100 – 74 = 26%

Question 15. Which among the following options give the correct relationship between the edge lengths ‘a’ and the radius of a sphere ‘r’ in a body-centered cubic structure.
  1.    a=√34r
  2.    r=a2√2
  3.    r=√34a 
  4.    r=a2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> r=√34a 
:
C
In EFD,
b = a + a = 2a
Now in AFD
c2=a2+b2=a2+2a2=3a2
c=3a
The length of the body diagonal 'c' is equal to 4r, where r is the radius of the sphere (atom), as the three spheres along the diagonal touch each other.
Therefore, 3a=4r
a=4r3
r=34a
Which Among The Following Options Give The Correct Relations...
Question 16. Which defect causes decrease in the density of crystal
  1.    Frenkel
  2.    Schottky
  3.    Interstitial
  4.    F-centre
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Schottky
:
B
Due to presence of vacant lattice sites in Schottky defect, there is a decrease in the density of crystal.
Question 17. Which of the following are the characteristics of an amorphous solid?
A. Short range order
B. Sharp melting point
C. Isotropic in nature
D. Definite heat of fusion
  1.    A,D
  2.    A,C
  3.    A,C,D
  4.    B,D
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> A,C
:
B
Amorphous solids consist of particles of irregular shape, so it displays short range order.
Amorphous solids soften over a range of temperature, and hence doesn’t show sharp melting point.
The value of a physical property will be same from any directions in case of amorphous solids. So, they are said to be isotropic in nature.
Amorphous solids do not have a definite heat of fusion.
Question 18. Na and Mg crystallize in BCC and FCC type crystals respectively, then the number of atoms of Na and Mg present in the unit cell of their respective crystal is
  1.    4 and 2
  2.    9 and 14
  3.    14 and 9
  4.    2 and 4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 2 and 4
:
D
The bcc cell consistes of 8 atoms at the corners and one atom at centre.
n=(8×18)+1=2.
The fcc cell consists of 8 atoms at the eight corners and one atom at each of the six faces.This atom at the faces is shared by two unit cells.
n=8×18+(6×12)=4
Question 19. Consider an element ‘Argo’ which forms ccp lattice. Its X-ray studies show that the edge length of its unit cell is 4000 nm. Also the density of Argo is found to be 10 g/cm3. Which of the following elements has the closest atomic mass to that of Argo.
  1.    Copper (atomic mass= 63 g/mol)
  2.    Silver (atomic mass = 108 g/mol)
  3.    Molybdenum (atomic mass = 95 g/mol)
  4.    Gold (atomic mass = 196 g/mol)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Molybdenum (atomic mass = 95 g/mol)
:
C
The number of Argo atoms per unit cell(z) = 4
Density (d) = 10g/cm3
Edge length of unit cell (a) = 4000 nm = 4×108cm
We know that, d=z×Ma3×NA=>M=d×a3×NAz=10×(4×108)3×6.023×10234=96.368 g/mol
This value is closest to the atomic mass of molybdenum.
Question 20. For an ionic crystal of the general formula AX and coordination number 6, the value of radius ratio will be
  1.    Greater than 0.73
  2.    In between 0.73 and 0.41
  3.    In between 0.41 and 0.22
  4.    Less than 0.22
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> In between 0.73 and 0.41
:
B
The structural arrangement of co-ordination number ‘6’ is octahedral and its radius ratio is 0.414 - 0.732.
