A metallic element has a cubic lattice. Each edge of the unit cell is 2Å. The density of the metal is 2.5 g `cm^(-3)`.The unit cells in 200g of the metal areA. `1xx10^24`B. `1xx10^20`C. `1xx10^22`D. `1xx10^25`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Number of unit cell `=("mass of metal")/("mass of one unit cell")`
Given, edge length of unit cell = 2Å `= 2xx10^(-8)` cm
Mass of metal = 200 g
Density of metal = `2.5gcm^(-3)`
Volume of unit cell = `("edge length")^3=(2xx10^(-8))^3`
`=8xx10^(-24)`
Mass of one unit cell = volume x density
`=8xx10^(-24) xx 2.5=20xx10^(-24)`
`therefore` number of unit cell in 200 g metal
`=("mass of metal")/("mass of one unit cell")=(200)/(20xx10^(-24))`
`=10xx10^24=1.0xx10^25`

A metal crystallizes into two cubic phases, face-centred cubic and body-centred cubic, which have unit cell lengths `3.5` and `3.0 A`, respectively. Calculate the ration of densities of fcc and bcc.

Answer» `f.c.c.` unit cell length `=3.5`Å
`b.c.c.` unit cell length `=3.0`Å
Density in `f.c.c. (z_(1)xxat.wt.)/(V_(1)xxAv. no .)`
Density in `b.c.c. (z_(2)xxat.wt.)/(V_(2)xxAv. no .)`
`rho_(f.c.c.)/(rho_(b.c.c.))=(z_(1))/(z_(2))xx(V_(2))/(V_(1))`
Now, `z_(1)` for `f.c.c.=4,`
Also, `V_(1)=a^(3)=(3.5xx10^(-8))^(3)`
`z_(2)` for `b.c.c.=2,`
Also, `V_(2)=a^(2)=(3.0xx10^(-8))^(3)`
`(rho_(f.c.c.))/(rho_(b.c.c.))=(4xx(3.0xx10^(-8))^(3))/(2xx(3.5xx10^(-8)))=1.259`

`AX,AY,BX`, and `BY` have rock salt type structure with following internuclear distances: `|{:("Salt","Anion-anion","Cation-anion"),(,"distance in"Å,"distance in"Å),(AX,2.40,1.70),(AY,1.63,1.15),(BX,2.66,1.88),(By,2.09,1.48):}|` Ionic radii of `A^(o+)` and `B^(o+)`, respectively, areA. `0.35` and `0.68 Å`B. `0.68` and `0.35 Å`C. `1.20` and `0.80 Å`D. `0.80` and `1.20 Å`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`Y^(ɵ)` is small than `X^(ɵ)`.
The difference in internucler distanc between `AX` and `BX` indicates that the cation must not be touching apl the anions in `AX` (smaller cation, larger anion) [see `Q.10`, Fig.(a)]. There must ve anion-anion contact is this compound.
`:.` Anion-anion ditance = `2r_(ɵ)`
The remaining radius ratio is represented in (see `Q.9` Figure].
b. Radius of `X^(ɵ)(r_(ɵ)) = (2.40)/(2) = 1.20Å`
Radius of `B^(o+)(r_(o+)) = (1.88 - 1.20)Å = 0.68Å`
c. Similarly, radius of `Y^(ɵ)(r_(ɵ)) = (1.48 - 0.68) = 0.80 Å`
Radius of `A^(o+)(r_(o+)) = (1.15 - 0.80)Å = 0.35 Å`
Radius of `A^(o+)` and `B^(o+)`, respectively, are `= 0.35` and `0.68Å`

The crystal `AB`(rock salt structure) has molecular weight `6.023Y u`, where `Y` is an arbitrary number in `u`. If the minimum distance between cation and anion is `Y^(1)/(3) nm` and the observed density is `20 kg m^(-3)`. Find a. The density in `kg m^(-3)`. and b. The type of defect

Answer» a. Density, `rho = (Z_(eff) xx Mw)/(a^(3) xx N_(A))`
Edge length
`a = 2Y^(1)//(3) xx 10^(-9) m`
For rock salt structure, `Z_(eff) = 4`
`M = 6.023 Y u = (6.023)/(1000) Y kg`
Density, `rho`
`(4 xx (6.023)/(1000) xx10^(-3) xx Y)/(6.023 xx 10^(23) xx (2Y^(1//3) xx 10^(-9))^(3))`
`= (40)/(8) = 5 kg m^(-3)`
b. Observed density `= 20 kg m^(-3)`
Calculated density `= 5 kg m^(-3)`
The observed density is higher than the calculated density, hence, the solid must have non-stoichiometric defect.

Iron changes its crystal structure from body-centred to cubic close- packed structure when heated to ` 916^(@)C`. Calculate the ratio of the density of the bcc crystal to that of ccp crystal, assuming that the metallic radius of the atom does not change.

Answer» In the bcc packing, the space occupied is 68% of the total volume available while in ccp, the space occupied is 74% . This means that for the same volume, masses of bcc and ccp are in the ratio of 68 : 74 . As the volume is same , ratio of density is also same, viz , 68 : 74 .
i.e,x ` (d(ccp))/(d(ccp)) = 68/74 = 0.919`
Alternatively
Density ` (p) = (Z xx M)/( a^(3) xx N_(0))`
For bcc, ` Z = 2, r= ( sqrt3 a)/4 or a_("bcc") = (4r)/sqrt3`
For fcc, ` Z = 4 , r = a/(2sqrt2) or a_("fcc") = 2 sqrt2 r `
` p_("bcc")= (2xxM)/((a_("bcc"))^(3) xx N_(0)) and p_("fcc") = ( 4 xx M)/((a_("fcc"))^(3)xx N_(0))`
`p_("bcc")/(P_("fcc"))= 2/((a_("bcc"))^(3))xx ((a_("fcc"))^(3))/4 = 2/((4r//sqrt3)^(3))xx ((2sqrt2r)^(3))/4 = (2xx3sqrt3)/(64 r^(3)) xx (16sqrt2 r^(3))/4 = 3/8sqrt6 = 0.919`

Which of the following is not a cystalline solids?A. PolyurethaneB. CopperC. Potassium nitrateD. Benzoic acid

Answer» Correct Answer - 1
Crystalline solids are those whose atoms,molecules or ions have an ordered arrangement extending over a long range ,This order on the atomic level is also seen on the visible level because crystalline solids usually have flat faces and distant angles.
Glass ,rubber polymers and plastics are typical examples of amorphous solids .Polyurethane being a polymer is a non=crystalline solids.
Crystals range in size from those large enough for their faces or cleavage planes to be evident at a glance to those so small that they seem to be powerful as an electron microscope or `X` ray diffraction techiniques,may be used ot detect their crystalline structure.
The way in which a crystal grows affects its size .Size is inversely proportional to the rate of growth.i.e, if a crystal grows slowly from the liquids state or form solutionsthere is greater opportunity for large crystals to form,Crystals exist in a variety of shapes.The way in which a crystal of a given substance is formed may affect its shape .For example a cystal of `NaCl` grown by subspension in the centrer of a solution of `NaCl` will have a symmterical cubic shape because `NaCl` deposits at an equal rate on all sides of the crystal.i.e, all faces of the crystal grown equally.But if the crystal is grown on the button of the container ,then the crystal growns faster horizonatlly then vertically because material is not deposited on the face that touches the bottom. The shape of a crystal of `NaCl` can be changed even further by ther variations in the conditions of growth.

Assertion: Crystalline solids are anisotropic. Reason: Cystalline solids are not as closely packed as ionic solids.A. If both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertionB. If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertionC. If assertion is correct but reason is incorrectD. If both assertion and reason are incorrect

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Correct Reason Anisotropy is due to different arrangement of constituent particles in different directions

A crystalline solid of a pure substance has a face-centred cubic structure with a cell edge of 400 pm. If the density of the substance in the crystal is 8 ` g cm^(-3)` , then the number of atoms present in 256 g of the crystal is ` N xx 10^(24)` . The value of N is

Answer» Correct Answer - c
`p ( Z xx M)/( a^(3) xx N_(0) xx 10^(-30)`
Where a is in pm and M in g ` Mol^(-1)`
` 8 = ( 4 xx M)/((400)^(3) xx 6 xx 10^(23) xx 10^(-30))) or M = 76.8`
Moles in 256 g = ` 256/76.8 = 3.33`
No, of atoms = ` 3.33 xx 6 xx 10^(23)`
`= 2xx 10^(24)`

Xenon crystallizes in the face-centred cubic lattice and the edge of the unit cell is `620` pm. What is the nearest neighbour distance and what is the redius of xenon atom?A. 438.5 pmB. 219.25 pmC. 420 pmD. 261.5 pm

Answer» Correct Answer - A
As xenon crystallises in fcc lattice , nearest neighbour
distance (d) `=a/sqrt2=(620)/(sqrt2)=620/1414 = 438.5`
