Question 21. Assume a hypothetical cubic crystal lattice, named JEE-centered cubic (jcc) with the following characteristics:
I. An atom is present at all the corners of the cube
II. An atom is present at the center of two pairs of opposite faces
III. An atom is present at the center of all the edges of the cube
IV. One atom is present at its body-center
An element having the jcc lattice structure has a cell edge of 120 pm. The density of the element is 6.8 g/cm3. How many atoms are present in 408 g of the element?
  1.    1.73×1023
  2.    2.43×1023
  3.    2.43×1026 
  4.    1.73×1026
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2.43×1026 
:
C
Volume of unit cell =(120pm)3=(120×1012)3m3=(123×1033)m3
Volume of 408 g of the element =massdensity=4086.8=60cm3=6×105m3
So, number of unit cells present in 408 g of the elements =6×105123×1033=3.472×1025 unit cells
Since each jcc unit cell consist of 7 atoms,
therefore the total number of atoms presents in 408 g of the given element
=7×3.472×1025=2.43×1026atoms

Question 23. Which among the following solids are electrical insulators in solid state:
  1.    Polar molecular solids
  2.    Ionic solids
  3.    Non polar molecular solids
  4.    All of above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of above
:
D
Polar and non-polar molecular solids are soft and non-conductors of electricity.
Ionic solids are non-conductors of electricity in solid state, as the constituent ions are not free to move (but in molten state or when dissolved in water the ions are free to move and hence they conduct electricity)
Question 24. Question 11-12 is based on the following given information:
Assume a hypothetical cubic crystal lattice, named JEE-centered cubic (jcc) with the following characteristics:
I. An atom is present at all the corners of the cube
II. An atom is present at the center of two pairs of opposite faces
III. An atom is present at the center of all the edges of the cube
IV. One atom is present at its body-center
How many atoms are effectively present per unit cell in this hypothetical crystal lattice?
  1.    8
  2.    7
  3.    6
  4.    5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 7
:
B
I. 8 corner atom ×(18) atom per unit cell = 1 atom
II. 4 face-centered atoms ×(12)atom per unit cell = 2 atom
III. 12 edge-centered atoms ×(14) atom per unit cell = 3 atom
IV. 1 body centered atom ×1 atom per unit cell = 1 atom
So, Total number of atoms per unit cell =1+2+3+1=7atoms

Question 26. Which of the following crystals can exhibit
paramagnetic property
  1.    NaCl
  2.    CsCl
  3.    ZnS
  4.    FeCl2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> FeCl2
:
D
Fe+2 have unpaired electrons
Question 27. In the crystals of which of the following ionic compounds would you expect maximum distance between centers of cations and anions
  1.    LiF
  2.    CsF
  3.    CsI
  4.    LiI
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> CsI
:
C
Cs+andI have the largest sizes.
Question 28. Which one of the following crystals does not exhibit Frenkel defect
  1.    AgBr
  2.    AgCl
  3.    KBr
  4.    ZnS
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> KBr
:
C
KBr exhibits Schottky defect and not Frenkel defect
AgBr shows both Schottky as well as Frenkel defect
Frenkel defect is shown by compounds with large difference in size of cations and anions, low coordination number and low ionic nature.
Question 29. Assertion: Anion vacancies in alkali halides are produced by heating the alkali halide crystals with alkali metal vapour.
Reason: Electrons trapped in anion vacancies are referred to as F-centers.
  1.    If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
  2.    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  3.    If assertion is true but reason is false.
  4.    If the assertion and reason both are false.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
:
B
On heating, the metal atoms deposit on the surface and finally they diffuse into the crystal and after ionization the alkali metal ion occupies cationic vacancy whereas electron occupies anionic vacancy.
Question 30. Assertion: Electrical conductivity of semiconductors decreases with increasing temperature.
Reason:  With increase in temperature, large number of electrons from the valence band can jump to the conduction band.
  1.    If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
  2.    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  3.    If assertion is true but reason is false.
  4.    If assertion Is false but reason is true.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> If assertion Is false but reason is true.
:
D
Electrical conductivity of semiconductors increases with increasing temperature, as with increase in temperature large number of electrons from the valence band can jump to the conduction band.
