When an atom or an ion is missing from its normal lattice site, a lattice vacancy (Schottky detect) is created In stoichiometric ionic crystals, a vacancy of one ion has to be accompanied by the vacancy of the oppositely charged ion in order to maintain electrical neutrality. In a Frenkel defect an ion leaves its position in the lattice and occupies an interstitial void.This is the Frenkel defect commonly found along with the Schottky defects and interstitials.In pure alkali halides, Frendel defect are not found since the ions cannot get into the intenstitial sites.Frenkel defects are found in silver halides because of the small size of the `Ag^+` ion.Unlike Schottky defects. Frenkel defects do not change the density of the solids.In certain ionic solids (e.g. AgBr) both Schottky and Frenkel defects occur. The defects discussed above do not disturb the stoichiometry of the crystalline meterial.There is large Such solids showing deviations from the ideal stoichiometric composition form an important group of solids For example in the vanadium oxide, `VO_x`, x can be anywhere between 0.6 and 1.3.There are solids which are difficult to prepare in the stoichiometric composition.Thus, the ideal composition in compounds such as FeO is difficult to obtain (normally we get a composition of `Fe_(0.85) O` but it may range from `Fe_(0.93)` O to `Fe_(0.96)O`).Non-stoichiometric behaviour is most commonly found for transition metal compounds through is also known for some lanthanoids and actinodes. Zinc oxide loses oxygen reversibly at high temperature and turns yellow in colour.The excess metal is accomdated interstitially, giving rise to electrons trapped in the neighbourhood.the enhanced electrical conductivity of the non-stoichiometric ZnO arises from these electrons . Anion vacancies in alkali halides are produced by heating the alkali halide crystals in an atmosphere of the alkali metal vapour.When the metal atoms deposite on the surface they diffuse into the crystal and after ionisation the alkali metal ion occupies cationic vacancy whereas electron occupies anionic vacancy.Electrons trapped in anion vacancies are referred to as F-centres (from Farbe the German word for colour) that gives rise to interesting colour in alkali halides.Thus, the excess of potassium in KCl makes the crystal appear violet and the excess of lithium in LiCl makes it pink. The type of seciconductor shown by crystal capable of showing Schotlky defect, will be.A. p-typeB. n-typeC. bothD. None

Answer» Correct Answer - A

When an atom or an ion is missing from its nomal lattice site a lattice vacanecy (Schottky defect) is created. In stoichmeteric ionic crystals, a vacancy of one ion has to be accompanied by the vacancy of the oppositely charge ion in order to maintain electrical neutrality. In a Frenken defect an ion leaves its position in the lattice and occupies an interstitial void. This id the Frenkel defect commonly found along with the Schottky defects and interstitial. In pure alkali halides. Frenked defects are not found since the ions cannot get into the interstitial sites. Frenkel defects are found in silver halides because of the small size of the `Ag^(+)` ion. Unike Schottky defects, Frenkel defect do not change the density of the solids. in certain ionic solids (e.g., AgBr) both schottky and Frenkel defect occur. The Defects idiscussed above do not disturb the stoichiometery of the crystalline material. there is large variety of non-stoichiometric inorganic solids which contains an excess or deficienty of one of the elements. Such solids showing deviations from the ideal stoichiometric composition from an important group of solids. For example in the vanadium oxide, `VO_(x),x` can be anywehere between 0.6 and 1.3 there are solids such as difficult to prepare in the soichiometric omposition thus, the ideal composition in compounds such as `FeO` is difficult to obtain (normally we get a compositiion of `Fe(0.95)`O but it may range from `Fe_(0.93)`O to `Fe_(0.96)O`). Non-stoichiometric behavious is most commonly found for transition metal compounds through is also known for some lathanoids and actinoids. Zinc oxide loses oxygen reversible at high temperature and turns yellow in colour. the excess metal is accomodated interstitial, giving rise to electrons trapped in the neighbourhood, the enchanced electrical conductivity of the non-stoichiometric ZnO arises from these electrons. Anion vacancies in alkali halides are produced by heating the alkali halid crystals in an atmosphere of the alkali metal vapour. when the metal atoms deposit on the surface they diffuse into the cystal and after ionisation the alkali metal ion occupies cationic vacancy whereas electron occupies anionic vacancy. Electrons trapped i anion vacancies are referred to as F-centers (From Farbe the German word for colouf) that gives rise to interesting colour in alkali halides. Thus, the excess of potassium i KCl makes the crystal appear violet and the excess of lithium in LiCl makes it pink. Which of the following is most appropritate crystal to show Fremkel defect ?A. CsClB. NaClC. AgBrD. `CaCl_2`

Answer» Correct Answer - C

Let `m_(p)` be the mass of a poton , `M_(1)` the mass of a `_(10)^(20) Ne` nucleus and `M_(2)` the mass of a `_(20)^(40) Ca` nucleus . ThenA. `M_(2)=2M_(1)`B. `M_(2) gt 2M_(1)`C. `M_(2) ltM_(1)`D. `M_(1) lt 10(m_(n)+m_(p))`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Due to mass defect (which is finally responsible for the binding energy of the nucleus). Mass of a nucleus is always less than the sum of masses of its constituent particles.
`._(10)^(20)Ne` is made up of 10 protons plus 10 neutrons. Therefore mass of `._(10)^(20) Ne` nucleaus
`M_(1) lt 10 (m_(p)+m_(n))`
Also, heavier the nucleus, more is the mass defect
Thus, `20(m_(n)+m_(p))-M_(2) gt 10 (m_(p)+m_(n))-M_(1)`
or `10 (m_(p)+m_(n)) gt M_(2) -M_(1)`
or `M_(2) lt M_(1)+10(m_(p)+m_(n))`
Since `M_(1) gt 10(m_(p)+m_(n))`
`:. M_(2) lt 2M_(1)`

A weight can be hung in any of the following four ways by string of same type. In which case is the string most likely to break?(A) A (B) B (C) C (D) D

Answer»

The correct answer is (C) C 

Explanation:

The correct explanation is that the force exerted i.e.(Wg) in all case but in case 1 , 2 , 4 the force is transferred to whole string as these 3 strings are longer in comparison to c so there will not much effect created in case of 1 , 2 and 4 hence there will chance of string c to get broken as much force is transferred at a time...

A particle of mass m is constrained to move on x-axis. A force F acts on the particle. F always points toward the position labeled E. For example, when the particle is to the left of E, F points to the right. The magnitude of F is a constant F except at point E where it is zero. The system is horizontal. F is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance A towards left from the equilibrium position E and released from rest at t = 0. Take point E at x = 0.Find minimum time it will take to reach from x = - A/2 to 0.(A) 3/2√(mA/F)(√2 - 1)(B) √(mA/F)(√2 -1)(C) 2√(mA/F)(√2 - 1)(D) none
