1. In a solid lattice, the cation has left a lattice site and is located at an interstitial
position . The lattice defect is
a) n-type b) p-type c) Frenkel defect d) Schottky defect
2. The appearance of colour in solid alkali metal halides is generally due to
12. Which of the following is not correct for Frenkel defect in crystals?
a) it is due to equal number of cations and anions missing from crystal lattice
b) It has no effect on density of the crystal
c) it occurs in crystals where the difference in the size of cations and anions is large
d) silver halides shows frenkel defect
13. Iodine molecules are held in the crystal lattice by
In the crystalline solids the smallest repeating part in the lattice is known as unit cell.
Unit cells are described as simple (points at all the corners), body centred ( points at all
the corners and in the centre), face centred ( points at all the corners and centre of all
faces), and end centred (points at all corners and centres of two opposite end faces)
unit cells. In two common types packing ccp and hcp 26% of space is left unoccupied in
the form of interstitial sites. For the stable ionic crystalline structures, there is definite
radius ratio limit for a cation to fit perfectly in the lattice of anions, called radius ratio
rule. This also defines the coordination number of an ion, which is the the number of
nearest neighbours of opposite charges. Density of the unit cell is same as the density
of the substance. If the density of the substance is known, number of atoms or
dimensions of the unit cell can be calculated. The density of the unit cell is related to its
mass (M), no. Of atoms per unit cell (Z), edge length (a in cm) avogadro number.
16. Gold crystallizes in a face centred cubic unit cell. Its edge length is 0.410 nm. The
radius of gold atom is
a) 0.205 nm b) 0.290 nm c) 0.145 nm d) 0.578 nm
17. The number of atoms per unit cell in simple (s), body centred (b),. face centred (f)
and end centred (e) unit cell decreases as
a) Assertion and reason both are correct statements and reason is correct
explanation for assertion.
b) Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not
correct explanation for assertion.
c) Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
d) Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.
21. Assertion: The total number of atoms present in a simple cubic unit cell is one.
Reason: Simple cubic unit cell has atoms at its corners, each of which is shared
between eight adjacent cells.
22. Assertion: Total number of octahedral voids present in unit cell of cubic close
packing including that one that is present at the body centre is four.
Reason: Besides the body centre there is one octahedral void present at the centre of
each of the six faces of the unit cell and each of which is shared between two adjacent
unit cells.
23. Assertion: Diamond and graphite are examples for covalent solids.
Reason: In covalent crystals the constituent particles are metal atoms which are linked
to the adjacent atoms by covalent bonds throughout the crystal.
24. Assertion: Two dimensional close packed structure can be generated by placing the
rows of close packed spheres.
Reason: In hexagonal close packed structure the spheres in the second row are placed
in the depressions between the spheres of the first row.
25.Assertion: Frenkel and schottky defects are stoichiometric defects.
