A cubic structure of uniform spheres has the unit cell edge length of 0.8 mm. If the radius of the molecule in a simple cubic lattice is $40\times10^{-x}$ , then what is the value of x?

As we know, for simple cubic lattice,

$\displaystyle r=\dfrac{a}{2}=\dfrac{0.8}{2}=0.4\ mm$

we get,

$x=2$
Hence, the correct answer is 2.

Explain the following terms with suitable examples:
(i) Schottky defect (ii) Frenkel defect (iii) Interstitials and (iv) F-centres

(i) Schottky defect
Some atoms or ions are missing from their normal lattice sites. Unoccupied lattice sites are called vacancies or holes.
For example, in the crystal lattice of NaCl, equal number of cations and anions are missing to maintain electrical neutrality.
(ii) Frenkel defect
An ion is missing from its normal position and occupies an interstitial site.
Due to this, vacancy defect and interstitial defect are produced.
For example, in the crystal lattice of ZnS, a zinc cation is missing from its normal position and occupies an interstitial site.
(iii) Interstitials
They are sites between lattice points.
For example, in Frenkel defect, the occupancy of interstitials cause interstitial defect.
(iv) F-centres
The electrons trapped in anion vacancies are called F-centres. They impart colour to crystal.
For example, in NaCl crystal, F-centres impart yellow colour.

What type of point defect is produced when $AgCl$ is doped with $CdCl_{2}$ ?

Explanation:

When $AgCl$ is doped with $CdCl_2$ , cation vacancy is created because two $Ag^+$ ions are replaced by one $Cd^{2+}$ ion. The $Cd^{+2}$ ion occupies the site of one of the $Ag^+$ ion and at another site of $Ag^+$ ion a vacancy is created. This defect is known cation vacancy defect.

Final Answer: The defect created is called cation vacancy defect.

An element crystallizes in a f.c.c. lattice with a cell edge of 250 pm. Calculate the density, if 300 g of this element contain $2 \times {10}^{24}$ atoms.

Formula of density of the unit cell:

$d = \dfrac {zM}{a^3N_A}$

where,

$z =$ number of particles present per unit cell

$= 4$

$M =$ Molecular mass

$= \dfrac {300}{2\times 10^{24}}\times 6.023 \times 10^{23} = 90.34 g$ ,

(a) Explain Schottky defect and Frenkel defect.
(b) Write briefly the adsorption theory of catalysis.

(a) Schottky Defect: This defect is caused if some of the lattice points are unoccupied. The points which are unoccupied. The points which are unoccupied are called lattice vacancies. The number of missing positive and negative ions is the same in this case and the crystal remains neutral. The existence of two vacancies, one due to a missing

${Na}^{+}$ ion and the other due to a missing

${Cl}^{-}$ ion in a crystal of

$NaCl$ . It appears in ionic crystals in which positive and negative ions do not differ much in size.
Frenkel Defects: This defect arise when an ion occupies an interstitial position between the lattice points. This defect occurs generally in ionic crystals in which the anion is much larger in size than the cation.

$AgBr$ is an example for this type of defect. One of the

${Ag}^{+}$ ion occupies a position in the interstitial space rather than its own appropriate site in the lattice.
The crystal remains neutral since the number of positive ions is the same as the number of negative ions.
(b) Adsorption theory explains the mechanism of heterogenous catalysts. Here, the catalyst functions by adsorption of the reacting molecules on its surface.
In general there are four steps involved in the heterogenous catalysis.

${ A }_{ (g) }+{ B }_{ (g) }\xrightarrow [ ]{ catalyst } { C }_{ (g) }+{ D }_{ (g) }\quad$
Step 1: Adsorption of reactant molecules:
The reactant molecules

$A$ and

$B$ strike the surface of the catalyst. They are held up at the surface by weak Vanderwall's forces by partial chemical bonds.
Step 2: Formation of activated complex:
The particles of the reactants adjacent to one another join to form an intermediate complex

$(A-B)$ . Tee activated complex is unstable.
Step 3: Decomposition of Activated Complex:
The activated complex breaks to form the products

$C$ and

$D$ . The separated particles of the products hold to the catalyst surface by partial chemical bonds.
Step 4: Desorption of products:
The particles of the products are desorbed or released from the surface.

b) Schottky defect (Vacancy defect) which lowers the density in an ionic crystal.

(a) Write about the most common point defects.

Point defects are where an atom is missing or is in an irregular place in the lattice structure. Point defects include self interstitial atoms, interstitial impurity atoms, substitutional atoms and vacancies.

A substitutional impurity atom is an atom of a different type than the bulk atoms, which has replaced one of the bulk atoms in the lattice.

Interstitial impurity atoms are much smaller than the atoms in the bulk matrix. Interstitial impurity atoms fit into the open space between the bulk atoms of the lattice structure.

Explain Schottky and Frenkel defects in solids.

Schottky defect:
Same number of positive and negative ions are missing from their respective positions leaving behind a pair of holes. This defect is more common in ionic compounds with high coordination numbers with approximately equal sizes of cation and anion. The density of the crystal decreases. This defect is observed in

$NaCl, CsCl, KCl, KBr,$ etc.

Frenkel defect:
An ion leaves its correct lattice site and occupies an interstitial site. It is common in ionic compounds with low coordination numbers and large differences in the size of cation and anion. This defect is observed in

$ZnS, AgCl, AgBr, AgI,$ etc.

Explain Schottky and Frenkel defects.

a) Schottky Defects ;
This detect is caused if sonic of the lattice-points are unoccupied. The points which are unoccupied are called lattice vacancies. The number of missing positive end negative ions is, the same in this case and the crystal remains neutral. The existence of two vacancies, one due to a missing

$N^+$ ion and the other due to a missing

$Cr^-$ ion in a crystal of NaCl. It appears ionic crystals in which be positive and negative ions do not differ much in, size.
b) Frenkel defect:
This defect arise when an ion occupies interstitial position beteen the lattiec points.
This This defect occurs generally in ionic crystals in which much larger in size than the cation.
AgB is example for type of defect one of the Ag ion occupies a position in the interstilial space rather than its own appropriate site in the lattice.
The crystal remains neutral since the number of positive ions is the same as the number of negative ions.

The ability of crystalline solids to change values of physical properties when measured in different directions is called anisotropy. It arises because the composition of solid changes with direction.
On the other hand, the values of the physical properties for amorphous solids do not change with change of direction. The properties remain same in all the directions. It is called isotropy.

A piece of chalk can be broken into small particles by hammering but a piece of iron cannot be broken into small particles. Which characteristic of the particles of matter is illustrated by these observations?

Here the intermolecular forces of attraction between the particles are identified or mentioned. Since in chalk the particles forces between the chalk particles are not so strong hence they can be easily broken up while the interparticle distance between the particles of iron is strong as there are strong metallic bonds between them. Hence they cannot be easily broken down.

Give the differences between crystalline and amorphous solids with respect to shape and melting point.

Crystalline solids	Amorphous solids
They have definite characteristic geometrical shape as constituent particles are arranged in orderly regular long range manner.	They do not have definite geometrical shape. This is due to short range order of constituent particles.
They have sharp melting point. They melt completely at one constant temperature.	They do not have sharp melting point. As temperature is raised, they gradually soften, becomes less viscous and melt over a temperature range.

What is lattice enthalpy of an ionic crystals? Give the relation.

Lattice energy is the energy released when on mole of an ionic crystal is formed from one mole of their constituent ions . Greater the value of lattice energy, more stable is the ionic compound. The lattice energy of sodium chloride is -185 kcal/mole. The negative sign indicates that the process is exothermic process and that the energy of the system is lowered as the ionic solid is formed.

On heating crystals of $KCl$ in potassium vapours, the crystals start exhibiting violet colour. Why?

Space lattice is a regular, indefinitely repeated array of points in three dimensions in which the points lie at the intersections of three sets of parallel equidistant planes.

This happens due to the creation of F-centers, as a result of Chloride anion vacancy created upon heating KCl in excess of K vapors. The hole created by the chloride anion is filled by an electron from K, giving it violet appearance.

Preparation of models of crystal (cube).

Primitive (Simple) Cubic Structure-

Placing a second square array layer directly over a first square array layer forms a "simple cubic" structure. The simple “cube” appearance of the resulting unit cell is the basis for the name of this three-dimensional structure.
This packing arrangement is often symbolized as $"AA"$ , the letters refer to the repeating order of the layers, starting with the bottom layer. The coordination number of each lattice point is six. This becomes apparent when inspecting part of an adjacent unit cell.

The unit cell in appears to contain eight corner spheres, however, the total number of spheres within the unit cell is 1 (the only

$\dfrac{ 1}{8}^{th}$ of each sphere is actually inside the unit cell). The remaining

$\dfrac{ 7}{8}^th$ of each corner sphere resides in

$7$ adjacent unit cells.

Give one example of amorphous substance.

Amorphous, or non-crystalline, solids lack this long-range order. Accordingly, they lack the elasticity, distinct melting points, and other properties of crystalline solids.
Amorphous solids lack a characteristic geometry, have identical properties along all axes, have wide ranges over which they melt, and break to form curved or irregular shapes.
Example of an amorphous solid is glass. However, amorphous solids are common to all subsets of solids. Additional examples include thin film lubricants, metallic glasses, polymers, and gels.

$d= \dfrac{A.m}{a^3N_o}$

$9=Z\times239.8/(9×10^{−8})3\times6.023\times10^{23}$

$Z=8.9\times3.95\times3.95\times3.95\times10^{−24}\times6.023\times10^{23}/239.8$

What is meant by voids in crystal structure?

Voids literally mean

$gaps$ between the constituent particles. Voids in solid states mean the vacant space between the constituent particles in a closed packed structure. Close packing in solids can be generally done in three ways: 1D close packing, 2D close packing and 3D close packing. In 2 dimensional structures when the atoms are arranged in square close packing and hexagonal close packing, we see empty spaces left over between the atoms. These empty spaces are called voids and in the case of hexagonal packing, these voids are in triangular shapes and are known as the triangular voids.

The size and distribution of voids in materials plays a role in determining In the close packed crystals (FCC, HCP) there are two types of voids -

$tetrahedral$ and

$octahedral$ voids (identical in both the structures as the voids are formed between two layers of atoms).

Define line defect.

A line defect is a line along which whole rows of atoms in a solid are arranged anomalously. The resulting irregularity in spacing is most severe along a line called the line of dislocation. Line defects can either weaken or strengthen solids.

A line defect acting as a boundary between the slipped and non-slipped region in the slip plane is called a dislocation.

Define crystal lattice.

Crystal lattice is a regular arrangement of the constituent atoms or ions or molecules in three-dimensional space. A crystal lattice also called a space lattice or simply, a lattice. There are only 14 possible three-dimensional lattices. These are called Bravais’ lattices.
Characteristics of a crystal lattice:

Each point in a lattice is called a lattice point or lattice site.
Each point in a crystal lattice represents one constituent particle, which may be an atom, a molecule or an ion.
Lattice points are joined by straight lines to bring out the geometry of the lattice.

The radius of cation and anion is $0.95\ A^{0}$ and $1.81\ A^{0}$ . Name of structure of ionic crystal.

We know,

$Radius\,ratio=\dfrac{Radius\,of\,cation}{Radius\,of\,anion}$

$Radius\,ratio=\dfrac{0.95}{1.81}= 0.525$

For the ratio of 0.414 to 0.732, the ionic crystal has octahedral structure

So, structure is octahedral.

What is the packing efficiency of $BCC$ unit cell?

The packaging efficiency of Body Centred Cubic cell is 68%. Thus 32% volume is empty space.

A metal crystallizes with a face-centered cubic lattice. The edge length of the unit cell is 408 pm. The diameter of the metal atom is:

For FCC,

$r =\dfrac {a}{{2}\sqrt{2}}$

Hence Diameter =

$\dfrac {a}{\sqrt{2}}$

$=\dfrac {408} {1.414} = 288.5pm$

Which crystal lattice has most efficient packing efficiency?

The packing efficiency of both types of close packed structure is 74%, i.e. 74% of the space in hcp and ccp is filled. The hcp and ccp structure are equally efficient; in terms of packing. The packing efficiency of simple cubic lattice is 52.4%. And the packing efficiency of body centered cubic lattice (bcc) is 68%.

The density of $CaF_2$ (fluorite structure) is 3.18 $g/cm^3$ . The length of the side of the unit cell is:

Density of $CaF_2 = 3.18$

Molar Mass of $CaF_2 = 78 g/mol.$

Using the Formula,

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$ .

$Volume = \frac{Mass}{Density}$

$Volume = \frac{78}{3.18}$

$Volume = 24.53$ cubic units.

Now, Volume of one cube of $CaF_2 = (Side)^3$

$Side = \sqrt[3]{Volume}$

$Side = \sqrt[3]{24.53}$

$Side = 2.905 units.$

Hence, the Length of the side of the unit cell of the $CaF_2 is 2.905 units$ .

On putting all values we have

$0.53gcm^{-3}=\cfrac{2\times 6.94}{6.022\times10^{23}mol^{-1}\times0.53gcm^{-3}}\\V=4.34\times10^{23}cm^3\\ V=4.34\times10^{-23}ml$

$d=\cfrac {Z \times M}{a^3\times N_A}$

$\Rightarrow 2.7=\cfrac {4 \times 27}{a^3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}}$

$\Rightarrow a^3=\cfrac {4\times 27}{2.7 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}}$

$\Rightarrow a= 4.05 \times 10^{-8} cm$

What are mass defect and binding energy?

Mass Defect-

The nuclear binding energy holds a significant difference between the nucleus actual mass and its expected mass depending on the sum of the masses of isolated components.

Since energy and mass are related based on the following equation-

$E=mc^2$

Where c is the speed of light. In nuclei, the binding energy is so high that it holds the considerable amount of mass.

The actual mass is less than the sum of individual masses of the constituent neutrons and protons in every situation because energy is ejected when the nucleus is created. This energy consists of mass which is ejected from the total mass of the original components and called as mass defect. This the mass is missing in the final nucleus and describes the energy liberated when the nucleus is made.

Mass defect is determined as the difference between the atomic mass observed (Mo) and expected by the combined masses of its protons (mp, every proton has a mass of 1.00728 AMU) and neutrons (mn, 1.00867 AMU).

Nuclear Binding Energy-

Once the mass defect is calculated, nuclear binding energy can be determined by converting mass to energy by applying E=mc2. When this energy is calculated which is of joules for a nucleus, you can scale it into per-mole quantities and per-nucleon. You need to multiply by Avogrado's number to convert into joules/mole and divide by the number of nucleons to convert to joules per nucleon.

Nuclear binding energy is also applied to situations where the nucleus splits into fragments that consist of more than one nucleon wherein, the binding energies of the fragments can be either negative or positive based on the position of the parent nucleus on the nuclear binding energy curve. When heavy nuclei split or if the new binding energy is known when the light nuclei fuses, either of these processes results in liberation of binding energy.

Mention one consequence of metal excess defect.

Metal excess defect may be of two type :

The density of copper metal is $8.95$ gm $cm^{ -3 }$ . If the radius of copper atom is $127.8$ pm, Will the copper unit cell be a simple cubic, a body-centred cubic or a face centred cubic? (At mass of Cu= $63.54$ g $mol^{ -1 }$ and N $_A$ = $6.02\times 10^{ 23 }\quad mol^{ -1 }$ )

Density of metal

$(\rho)=\cfrac{Z\times M}{N_A\times a^3}$

For, simple cubic,

$a=2r, Z=1$

$\therefore \rho=\cfrac{1\times 63.54}{(2\times 127.8\times 10^{-10})^3\times 6.02\times 10^{23}}=6.31$

$g/cm^3$

For BCC,

$Z=2, a=\cfrac {4}{\sqrt{3}}r$

$\therefore \rho=\cfrac{2\times 63.54}{\left(\cfrac {4}{\sqrt{3}}\times 127.8\times 10^{-10}\right)^3\times 6.02\times 10^{23}}=8.2$

$g/cm^3$

For FCC,

$Z=4, a=\cfrac {4}{\sqrt{2}}r$

$\therefore \rho=\cfrac{4\times 63.54}{\left(\cfrac {4}{\sqrt{2}}\times 127.8\times 10^{-10}\right)^3\times 6.02\times 10^{23}}=8.92$

$g/cm^3$

The density of copper metal is

$8.95$

$g/cm^3$ which is nearest to FCC. Therefore, the copper unit cell is face centre cubic.

It represents the interatomic distance in a unit cell. It is calculated by using following formula
$a = \root 3 \of {{{Z \times M} \over {\rho \times {N_A}}}}$
For simple cubic, body-centred cubic and face-centred cubic structures value of Z is 1, 2 and 4 respectively.

density

$\Rightarrow d = \frac{{ZM.}}{{{a^3}{N_A}}} \Rightarrow {a^3} = \frac{{ZM}}{{d \times {N_A}}}$

$a = \root 3 \of {\frac{{ZM}}{{d \times {N_A}}}}$

A compound is formed by two elements M and N. The element N forms ccp and atoms of M occupy 1/3rd of tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound?

The ccp lattice is formed by the atoms of the element N. Here, the number of tetrahedral voids generated is equal to twice the number of atoms of the element N. According to the question, the atoms of element M occupy 1/3rd of the tetrahedral voids. Therefore, the number of atoms of M is equal to 2 1/3 = 2/3rd of the number of atoms of N. Therefore, ratio of the number of atoms of M to that of N is M : N = (2/3):1 = 2:3 Thus, the formula of the compound is M2 N3

Analysis shows nickel oxide has the formula $Ni_{0.98} O_{1.00}$ . What fraction of $Ni$ exists as $Ni^{2+}$ and $Ni^{3+}$ ions in given oxide?

Formula is

${Ni}_{0.98}{O}_{1.00}$

Ration of

$Ni$ to

$O = 0.98 : 1$ , i.e.,

$0.98$ atom of

$Ni$ combines with

$1$ atom of

$O$ .

Let

$x$ be the number of atoms of

${Ni}^{+2}$

Therefore,

Number of atoms of

${Ni}^{+3} = 0.98 - x$

Total charge on

$Ni = -$ Total charge on

$O$

$\because 1$ oxygen atom has charge

$-2$ .

$\therefore 3 \left( 0.98 - x \right) + 2x = 2$

$2.94 - 3x + 2x = 2$

$- x = - 0.94$

$\Rightarrow x = 0.94$

Therefore,

Number of atoms of

${Ni}^{+2} = x = 0.94$

Number of atoms of

${Ni}^{+3} = 0.98 - x = 0.98 - 0.94 = 0.04$

Now

Percentage of

${Ni}^{+2} = \cfrac{94}{98} \times 100 \approx 95.92 \%$

Percentage of

${Ni}^{+3} = 100 - 95.92 = 4.08 \%$

Under which situations can an amorphous substance change to crystalline form?

An amorphous solid on heating at some temperature may become crystalline. Slow heating and cooling over a long period makes an amorphous solid acquires some crystalline character.

In spite of long range order in the arrangement of particles why are the crystals usually not perfect?

Crystals have long range in the arrangement of particles but usually the crystals are not perfect this is because when crystallisation occurs at a fast rate or moderate rate, the constituent particles may not get sufficient time to arrange themselves in a perfect order

A metal (atomic mass $=307.2$ ) exist in BCC structure. If the uncovered distance between the atoms along the edge is equal to $120pm$ , the density of crystal (in $g/{cm}^{3}$ ) is $\left( { N }_{ A }=6\times { 10 }^{ 23 },\sqrt { 3 } =1.732 \right)$

For a BCC structure;

Radius of metal atom (r) is given by

$\mathrm{\cfrac{a\sqrt3}{4}}$ , where r is the radius of metal atom.

Distance left uncovered along the edge =

$\mathrm{a- 2r}$ =

$\mathrm{a- \cfrac{a\sqrt3}{2}}$

$\implies$ Distance left uncovered along the edge =

$\mathrm{a \times \cfrac{2-\sqrt3}{2} = 0.134 \ a}$

$\implies$ 120 = 0.134 a

$\implies$ a = 895.52 pm

$\implies$ r =

$\mathrm{\cfrac{a\sqrt3}{4}}$ = 387.76 pm

Density of a metal crystal is given by

$\mathrm{d = \cfrac{Z\times M}{N_A \times a^3}}$

$\mathrm{\implies d = \cfrac{2\times 307.2}{6 \times 10^{23} \times (895.52 \times 10^{-10})^3}}$

$Cl^{-}$ form Fcc structure and

$Na^{+}$ will be present in each octahedral void.

$a = 2 (Dist. between\ Na^{+}$ and

$Cl^{-}) = 2\times 0.2819\ nm$ .

$\therefore$ volume of cube

$= a^{3}$

$Density = \dfrac {4 \times 58.5\ g}{N_{A}\times (0.5638\times 10^{-7} cm)^{3}}$

$2.165\ g/cc = \dfrac {4\times 58.5}{N_{A} \times 0.179\times 10^{-21}}$

$N_{A} = \dfrac {4\times 58.5}{0.179\times 2.165}\times 10^{21} = 6.03\times 10^{23}$

For side length of

$1$ mole of cube

$\therefore density = \dfrac {mass\ of\ 1\ moles}{volume\ of\ 1\ mole}$

Volume of

$1\ mole = \dfrac {58.5\ g}{2.165} = 27.02\ cm^{3}$

$\therefore$ If the side length of cube containing

$1$ mole of substance.

$a^{3} = 27.02\ cm^{3}\Rightarrow a = 3\ cm$

No. of ions in whole volume

$= 2\times 6.023\times 10^{23} = 1.2046\times 10^{24}$

$\therefore$ No of ions along are side

Why does the window glass of the old buildings look milky ?

It is due to heating during the day and cooling at night , i.e., due to annealing over a number of years , glass acquires crystalline character .

Which point defect in its crystal units increases the density of a solid ?

Interstitial defect, because in this defect a foreign atom/ions occupy interstitial positions. Hence the overall density of a solid increases.

How can a material be made amorphous ?

By melting the material and then cooling it rapidly .

What is the meaning of the term imperfection in solids ?

Imperfection refers to the irregularities in the arrangement of atoms , ions or molecules in the structure of crystalline substances.

Why is the window glass of old building thick at the bottom ?

Glass is not a true solid but a supercooled liquid of high viscosity ( called pseudo solid ). It has the property to flow. Due to the incident of sunlight for a long period of time the flows towards the bottom and thus gets thick.

spheres at the corners, body diagonal, AD

$= 4r$ further, face diagonal,

$AC = \sqrt{AB^2 + BC^2} = \sqrt{a^2 + a^2} = \sqrt{2a}$

and body diagonal,

$AD = \sqrt{AC^2 + CD^2} = \sqrt{2a^2 + a^2} = \sqrt{3a}$

$\sqrt{3a} = 4r$ or

$a = \dfrac{4r}{\sqrt 3}$

$\therefore$ volume of the unit cell

What do you understand by 'lattice point' ?

Each

$\text{lattice point}$ represents one constituent particle of solid. This constituent particle may be an atom, a molecule (group of atoms) or an ion.

Why solids are hard ?

In solids the positions of constituent particles like atoms or molecules or ions are fixed i.e., they are not free to move. They are stationary in their fixed position. They have strong intermolecular or interionic forces of attraction. Hence solids are hard.

$\therefore \sqrt{2} a = 4r$

$a = \dfrac{4}{\sqrt 2^r}$

$\therefore$ volume of the unit cell

$= a^3 = \left [ \dfrac{4}{\sqrt 2}r \right ]^3 = \dfrac{32}{\sqrt 2}r^3$

Number of spheres in the unit cell

Ionic solids which have anionic vacancies due to metal excess defect , develop colour. Explain with the help of a suitable example.

When

$NaCl$ crystals are heated in the presence of sodium vapour some chloride ions left the lattice sites and combine with sodium to form NaCl. For this combination sodium atoms lose electrons to form

$Na^+$ ions. The released electrons diffuse into crystal to occupy the anion vacancies which are created by

$Cl^-$ ions. In this condition the crystal have excess of sodium. The sites occupied by unpaired electrons are called F-centres or colour centres. F-centre imparts yellow colour to

$NaCl$ crystal because they absorb energy from the visible light and get excited.

Explain the following term with suitable examples:
Interstitial defect

In this case, the extra anions may be occupying interstitial positions, The extra negative charge is balanced by the extra charges (oxidation of equal number of cations to higher oxidation states) on the adjacent metal ions. Such type of defect is not common because the negative ions are usually very large and they can not easily fit into the interstitial sites.

The crystalline parts of the amorphous solids are called ....... .

The crystallites are small (can be microscopic) crystal which are formed during the crystallization process. Due to short range strong attraction force possessed by amorphous solids, small parts of amorphous solids are crystallized, they are known as crystallites.

An element X (atomic weight $= 24$ g/mol) forms a face centered cubic lattice. If the edge length of the lattice is $4\times10^{-8}$ cm and the observed density is $2.40 \times10^{3}$ g cm $^{-3}$ , then the percentage occupancy of lattice points by element X is : (Use $N_A=6\times10^{23}$ )

Given that,

Atomic weight of element

$X=24$

${g/mol}$

And element

$X$ is in FCC.

We know that,

Density of unit cell

$=\cfrac{Z\cdot M}{a^3\times N_A}$

where,

$Z=$ Number of atoms of elements in unit cell.

$M=$ Molecular weight

$a^3=$ Volume of unit cell

$N_A=$ Avogadro's Number

$a=$ Edge length

In FCC

$H-$ atom is present.

So, Density

$=\cfrac{4\times 24}{64\times 6\times 10^{23}\times 10^{-24}}$

$g/cm^3=0.25\times 10^1$

${g/cm^3}$

Calculated Density

$=2.5$

${g/cm^3}$

$Percentage\quad occupancy=\cfrac{Observed\quad density}{Calculated\quad density}=\cfrac{2.4}{2.5}\times 100=96\%$

In face centred cubic (fcc) crystal lattice, edge length is $400$ pm. Find the diameter (in pm) of a greatest sphere which can be fit into the interstitial void without distortion of a lattice.
(Give your answer to the nearest integer)

In fcc lattice, the largest void present is octahedral void.

If the radius of void sphere is

$R$ and of lattice sphere is

$r$ , then

$\displaystyle \mathrm{r}=\frac{\sqrt{2}\times 400}{4}=141.42$ pm

Applying condition for octahedral void

$2(r+R)=$ edge length,

$a$

$\therefore 2R=a-2r$

$2R=400-(2\times 141.42)=117.16$

Hence, the diameter of greatest sphere is

$117.16$ pm.

$\text { edge length } = \text { 400 pm} = \text { 400 }\times 10^{-10} \text { cm}= \text { 4 }\times 10^{-8} \text { cm}$

$\text { Density } = \dfrac { \text { Atomic mass} \times \text { Number of atoms in 1 unit cell } }{ \text { Avogadro's number} \times ( \text { edge length} )^3 }$

$\text { Density } = \dfrac {40g mol^{-1} \times \text { 4 } }{ 6.022\times 10^{23}mol^{-1} \times ( \text { 4 }\times 10^{-8} \text { cm} )^3 }$

$\text { Density } =\text {4.15 g/cm}^3$

Volume of 4 g of 'X'

Volume of one unit cell

$=( \text { edge length} )^3= ( \text { 4 }\times 10^{-8} \text { cm} )^3=6.4 \times 10^{-23}\text { cm}^3$

The number of unit cells in 4g of 'X'

Using the data given below, find the type of cubic lattice to which the crystal belongs.
$Fe$ $V$ $Pd$
$a$ in pm $286$ $301$ $388$
$\rho$ in gm $cm^{-3}$ $7.86$ $5.96$ $12.16$

The theoretical density of the crystal is given by

$\rho = \cfrac {nM}{N_AV}= \cfrac {nM}{N_A a^3}$

$n=$ number of molecules / atoms / ions in unit cell

$M=$ Molar mass of substance

$V=$ Volume of unit cell

$a=$ edge length of unit cell

For $Fe$ :-

$n= \rho \cfrac {N_AV}M$

Here, $\rho = 7.86 \ g/cm^3 \ ; \ N_A= 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ ; a= 286 \times 10^{-10} \ cm \ ; \ M=56 \ g$

$\Rightarrow n = \cfrac {7.86 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (286)^3 \times (10^{-10})^3}{56}= 2$

So it has body centered cubic lattice (BCC)

For $V$ :-

$\rho = 5.96 \ g/cm^3 \ ; \ N_A= 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ ; a= 301 \times 10^{-10} \ cm \ ; \ M=51 \ g$

$\Rightarrow n = \cfrac {5.96 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (301)^3 \times (10^{-10})^3}{51}= 2$

So unit cell of $V$ has body centered cubic lattice (BCC)

For $Pd$ :-

$\rho = 12.16 \ g/cm^3 \ ; \ N_A= 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ ; a= 388 \times 10^{-10} \ cm \ ; \ M=106 \ g$

$\Rightarrow n = \cfrac {12.16 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (388)^3 \times (10^{-10})^3}{106}= 4$

So unit cell of $Pd$ is face centered cubic lattic (FCC)

$4r=a\sqrt{2}$

$4\times 125=500=a\sqrt2$

$a=353.6$ pm

$=3.536\mathring A$

ii) Let the number of atoms be

$n$

$V=n\times V_m$

$10^{-6}=n\times (3.536)^{3}\times 10^{-30}$

$n=\cfrac {10^{24}}{(3.536)^3}=\cfrac {10^{24}}{44.21}=2.262\times 10^{22}$ atoms

Drop a crystal of copper sulphate or potassium permanganate into a glass of hot water and another containing cold water. Do not stir the solution. Allow the crystals to settle at the bottom.
What do you observe just above the solid crystal in the glass?
What happens as time passes?
What does this suggest about the particles of solid and liquid?
Does the rate of mixing change with temperature? Why and how?

When crystals are added in a glass of cold and hot water, the following observations are observed:

i) In a glass of cold water, the crystals settle down to the bottom and in case of hot water, it slowly spreads. The crystals can be observed dissolving in the water just above and blue/ purple color is observed.

ii) After some time, the hot water becomes blue/purple and in cold water, no appreciable color change is observed because of less dissolution of crystals.

iii) From the above observation, we can conclude that particles of matter move continuously and possess kinetic energy. The particles of matter also have diffusion property.

iv) As the kinetic energy of particles depends on temperatures and increases with the increase of temperature. So, the rate of mixing also increases as observed in the case of hot and cold water.

An element has a body centered cubic (bcc) structure with a cell edge of 288 pm. The density of the element is 7.2g/c $m^3$ . How many atoms present in 208g of the element.

Volume of unit cell

$=(288\ pm)^3=(288\times10^{-10}\ cm)^3=2.389\times10^{-23}\ cm^3$

Volume of 208 g of the element

$=\dfrac{Mass}{Density}=\dfrac{208}{7.2}=28.89\ cm^3$

Number of unit cells

$=\dfrac{Total\ Volume}{Volume\ of\ a\ unit\ cell}=\dfrac{28.89}{2.389\times10^{-23}}=12.09\times10^{23}$

For a BCC structure, number of atoms per unit cell

$=2$

$\therefore$ Number of atoms present in 208 g

$=$ No. of atoms per unit cell

Why is glass considered a super cooled liquid?

Glass is basically an amorphous solid. It does not form a crystalline structure. So, the constituent particles of the glass can move. In regular solids, there is no movement of constituent particles under normal conditions.Due to this fluidity property, $\text{ glass is called as supercooled liquid}$ . Glass can be considered as a liquid of extremely high viscosity.The evidence of the fact can be seen in the windows getting thicker at bottom over a period of time.

Find the void space in fluorite structure per unit volume of unit cell.

In fluorite structure $(CaF_2)$ , the cations $(Ca^{2+})$ ion forms ccp arrangement and anions $$(F^{2-}) ion occupy all tetrahedral voids.

So, along face diagonal, cations will be touching each other. If $r_f$ is radius of cations and $a$ is the edge length of the cube, then,

$\sqrt 2 a = 4r_+ \Rightarrow a = 2 \sqrt 2 r_+$

So, $a^3 = 16 \sqrt 2 r_+^3$

Now, if $r_-$ is the radius of the anion. So, for tetrahedral voids, we have

Radius of cation $(r_+)= \cfrac 1{0.225}$ (For this crystal type)

Radius of anion $$(r_-)

So, packing fraction $= \cfrac {4 \times \cfrac 43 \times (r_+)^3 + 8 \times \cfrac 43 \pi (r_-)^3}{16 \sqrt 2 r_+^3}$

$= \cfrac {\pi}{3 \sqrt 2} + \cfrac {2 \pi}{3 \sqrt 2} \left (\cfrac {r_-}{r_+}\right)^3$

$= \cfrac {\pi}{3 \sqrt 2} [1+ 2 \times (0.225)^3] = 0.749$

So, void fraction $= 1-0.749 = 0.251$

Void % $= 25.1$ %

Why do hexagonal and trigonal lattice do not have bcc and fcc variations?

For trigonal system crystal parameters are given as $a=b=c$ and $\alpha = \beta = \gamma \neq 90^o$ . So, the length of the sides and angles of unit cell are equal but the shape is harder to visualize because $\alpha, \ \beta, \ \gamma$ can be anything.

For hexagonal system, the crystal parameters are given as $a=b \neq c; \ \alpha = \beta =90^o$ and $\gamma=120^o$ . So, we have got one restriction to keep $\gamma =120^o$

As, in case of the cubic unit cell, we have greater symmetry so we can have bcc and fcc variations but due to lack of such symmetry in trigonal and hexagonal systems we cannot have such variations.

What is the packing efficiency for end centred unit cell?

In end centered unit cell the atoms are present on the corners and on the centers of any two opposite faces. So, effective number of atoms in unit cell $= \cfrac 18 \times 8 + \cfrac 12 \times 2= 1+1=2$

Now, at one of the faces toms along face diagonals are touching each other. If $a$ is the edge length of cube and $r$ is the radius of the atom.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt 2 a=4r$

So, volume occupied $= 2 \times \cfrac 43 \times \pi \times r^3$

Total volume $= a^3= \left (\cfrac {4r}{\sqrt 2}\right )^3= \cfrac {64}{2 \sqrt 2} r^3 = \cfrac {32}{\sqrt 2} r^3$

So, $packing \ efficiency = \cfrac {volume \ occupied}{total \ volume} \times 100$ %

$= \cfrac {\cfrac 43 \times \pi \times r^3 \times 2 }{\cfrac 32 \sqrt 2 \times r^3} \times 100$ %

$=37.02$ %

In terms of bond theory, explain the difference between a conductor (metal) , semiconductor and insulator. Give examples.

According to band theory a partially filled valance band will show conduction means will behave as conductor fully filled band show insulation means will behave as insulator for example lithium behave as conductor.

In case of semiconductors,the gap between the valence band and conduction band is small,therefore,some electrons may jump to the conduction band and shows some conductivity.

For example silicon germanium.

Examine the defective crystal lattice given below and answer the following questions:
(a) Name of defect present in ionic solid.
(b) Out of AgCl and NaCl, which is most likely to show this type of defect and why?
(c) Why the defect is also as dislocation defect?

This is Frankel defect

AgCl shows Frenkel defect while NaCl does not. ... Frenkel defect is shown by those in which there is large difference in the size of cations and anions. Hence,Frenkel defect is shown by AgCl due to small size of Ag+ ion but not by NaClbecause alkali metal ions can not fit into interstital sites.

this defect is call dislocation defect because in this a cation genarrly is dislocated from its site.

Cubic Close Packing

1. When the third layer is placed above the second layer in a manner such that its sphere covers the octahedral voids and the sphere of the third layer is not aligned with the first or the second layer, the arrangement is called ′C′ type. This pattern is written as ABCABC........ This structure is called cubic closed packing(CCP).

Which of the following is true about the value of refractive index of quartz glass?
(a) Same in all directions
(b) Different in different directions
(c) Cannot be measured
(d) Always zero

Hint:

Isotropic properties:- Isotropic properties refers to the properties of a material which is independent of the direction which means that properties are same in all the directions.

Quartz glass is amorphous solid i.e., isotropic in nature. Therefore, value of any physical property (e.g. refractive index) would be same along any direction.

Therefore, The correct answer is option (A).

A simple cubic lattice consists of eight identical spheres of radius $R$ in contact, placed at the corners of a cube. What is the volume of the cubical box that will just enclose these eight spheres and what fraction of this volume is actually occupied by the spheres?

Consider one face as shown in fig.

To enclose all these spheres we have to increase the side length by

$\therefore$ New side length

$= 2R + 2R = 4R$

$\therefore$ Volume of such cube

$= (4R)^{3} = 64R^{3}$

Volume of sphere

Rutile, a mineral that contains only titanium and oxygen atoms, has a structure that can be described as a closest packed array of oxide ions with titanium ions in one-half of the octahedral voids.
$(Ti=48)$
$ab=$ the mass percentage of titanium in rutile
$c=$ magnitude of oxidation state of titanium in rutile
$d=1$ if the oxidation state of $Ti$ is positive and $2$ if the oxidation state of $Ti$ is negative
The value $abcd$ is

No. of Oxygen atoms in a unit cell of Rutile = Z (CCP) = 4

No. of Titanium atoms in a unit cell of Rutile =

$\mathrm{\cfrac{Z(Octahedral \ of \ CCP)}{2} = \cfrac{4}{2} }$ = 2

So, the simplest whole no. ratio of titanium and oxygen is 1:2

Therefore, Rutile is

$\mathrm{TiO_2}$

Mass % of Ti in Rutile =

$\mathrm{\cfrac{Mass \ of \ Ti}{Mass \ of \ Rutile} = \cfrac{48}{80} = 60 \ \%}$

$\mathrm{\implies ab = 60}$

Oxidation state of Ti Rutile = +4

$\implies\mathrm{c = 4}$

Since oxidation state is positive

$\implies \mathrm{d=1}$

Therefore, the value of

$\mathrm{abcd = 6041}$
