Explanation

Schottky defect occurs mainly in electrovalent compound where positive and negative ions are of similar size.

Analysis shows that an oxide ore of  nickel has formula  Ni0.98O1.00. The percentage of nickel as Ni3+ ions is nearly

Explanation

The ratio Ni : O = 98:100

So, 100 atom of oxygen and 98 atom of Ni.

Let the number of atom Ni2+ = x

then number of Ni+3 =98-.x

(charge on Ni and O is equal)

So, then oxygen has charge =-2

3(98-x) + 2x = 2(100)

294-3x+2x=2(100)

-x=-94

x=94

% of Ni+2  = atoms of Ni+2total number of atoms of Ni×100

94/98*100 = 96%

Percentage of Ni+3 = 100 - 96 =4%

A metal crystallises in two cubic crystal: FCC and BCC, whose unit cell edge lengths are 4Å and 2Å respectively. The ratio of their densities is:-

Explanation

d = Zm/a3NA  d1/d2 = 4/43 x 23/2 = 0.25

Ice crystallises in a hexagonal lattice having volume of the unit cell as 132 x 10-24 cm3.   

If density is 0.92 g/cm3 at a given temperature, then number of  H20 molecules per unit cell is

Explanation

Density=massvolume

Mass of n molecules of H20 in hexagonal packing.

 18nNA=18n6.023×1023         

0.92=18n6.023×1023×132×10-24=4  

AB crystallizers in a body-centred cubic lattice with edge length a equal to 387 pm. The distance between two oppositely charged ions in the lattice is

Explanation

For BCC, 2r+ + 2r- =a3

r+ + r- = a3/2 = (387x1.732)/2 = 335pm

In a face centred cubic lattice, atom A occupies the corner positions and atom B occupies the face
centre positions. If one atom of B is missing from one of the face centred points, the formula of the compound is

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation


No. of A atom = 1/8 x 8=1
No. of B atom = 1/2 x 6-1/2=5/2

Hence, formula of compound is AB 5/2 or A2B5.

Percentage of free space in cubic close packed structure and in body centered packed structure are respectively:

Explanation

 

 

ZnS crystallizes as a cubic close-packed array of  ions with  ions in tetrahedral holes.
If  ions occupy the lattice points of a face-centered cubic unit cell and  ions are packed into every other tetrahedral hole, we get the unit cell of 

In a metal oxide, the oxide ions are arranged in hexagonal close packing and metal ions occupy two third of the octahedral voids. The formula of the oxide is

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

Suppose the number of oxide ions = N

The number of octahedral voids = N

Metal ions in octahedral voids = 2/3 N

Therefore, the ratio of M:O2 = 2/3:1 or 2:3 or the formula is  M2O3
