  • In the solid state, the metal ions of ferromagnetic substance are grouped together into small regions called domains, where each domain acts as a tiny magnet.
  • Example of ferromagnetic substances are Fe, Co, Ni, Gd, CrO2.

Question 3.

Answer the following in brief.

i. What are valence band and conduction band?

Answer :

  • Valence band : The atomic orbitals with filled electrons from the inner shells form valence bands, where there are no free mobile electrons since they are involved in bonding.
  • Conduction band : Atomic orbitals which are partially filled or empty on overlapping form closely placed molecular orbitals giving conduction bands where electrons are delocalised and can conduct, heat and electricity.

ii. Distinguish between ionic solids and molecular solids.

Answer :

iii. Calculate the number of atoms in fcc unit cell.

Answer :

Number of atoms in face-centred cubic (fcc) unit cell :

In this unit cell, there are 8 atoms at 8 corners and 6 atoms at 6 face centres.

Each comer contributes 1/8th atom to the unit cell, hence due to 8 corners,

∴ Number of atoms present in the unit cell = (1/8) X 8 = 1

Each face centre contributes half of the atom to the unit cell, hence due to 6 face centres,

Number of atoms =1/2 x 6 = 3.

Total number of atoms present in fcc unit cell = 1 + 3 = 4.

Hence the volume of the unit cell is equal to the volume of four atoms.

iv. How are the spheres arranged in first layer of simple cubic close-packed structures? How are the successive layers of spheres placed above this layer?

Answer :

Three dimensional crystal structures are obtained by stacking of two dimensional layers. Simple cubic lattice is obtained by stacking of two dimensional square layers.

The stacking of two dimensional hexagonal close packed layers gives two structures namely hexagonal close packed (hcp) structure and face centred (fcc) structure.

(i) Stacking of square close packed layers :

In this arrangement, the two dimensional AAAA type square closed packed layers are placed one over the other in such a way that the crests of all spheres are in contact with successive layers in all directions.

All spheres of different layers are perfectly aligned horizontally and vertically forming unit cells having primitive or simple cubic structure. Since all the layers are identical and if each layer is labelled as layer A, then whole three dimensional crystal lattice will be of type.

Each sphere is in contact with six surrounded spheres, hence the co-ordination number of each sphere is six.

(ii) Stacking of two hexagonal close packed layers :

A close packed three dimensional structure can be generated by arranging hexagonal close packed layers in a particular manner.

In this the spheres of second layer are placed in the depression of the first layer.

In this if first layer is labelled as A then second layer is labelled as B since they are aligned differently.

In this, all triangular voids of the first layers are not covered by the spheres of the second layer.

The triangular voids which are covered by second layer spheres generate tetrahedral void which is surrounded by four spheres. The triangular voids in one layer have above them triangular voids of successive layers.

The overlapping triangular voids from two layers together form an octahedral void which is surrounded by six spheres.

v. Calculate the packing efficiency of metal crystal that has simple cubic structure.

Answer :

Packing efficiency of metal crystal in simple cubic lattice :

Step 1 : Radius of sphere : In simple cubic unit cell, particles (spheres) are at the corners and touch each other along the edge.

A face of simple cubic unit cell is shown in Fig. It is evident that

a = 2r or r = a/2 ………(1)

where r is the radius of atom and ‘a’ is the length of unit cell edge.

Step 2 : Volume of sphere : Volume of a sphere = .\(\frac{4π}{3}×r^3\)

Substitution for r from Eq. (1)

∴ Volume of one particle =  \(\frac{4π}{3}(\frac{a}{2})^3\) = \(\frac{πa^3}{6}\)

Step 3 : Total volume of particles : Because simple cubic unit cell contains only one particle, volume occupied by particle in unit cell = \(\frac{πa^3}{6}\)

Step 4 : Packing efficiency

Packing efficiency = \(\frac{\text{Volume occupied by particles in unit cell}}{\text{total volume of unit cell}}×100\)

= \(\frac{πa^3/6}{a^3}×100 = \frac{π}{6}×100=\frac{3.142}{6}×100 \)

= 52.36%

Thus, in simple cubic lattice, 52.36 % of total space is occupied by particles and 100−52.36 = 47.64 % is empty space,

∴ void volume or a percentage of void space=.47.64 %

vi. What are paramagnetic substances? Give examples.

Answer :

Paramagnetic substances : The magnetic properties of a substance arise due to the presence of electrons.

An electron while revolving around the nucleus, also spins around its own axis and generates a magnetic moment and magnetic properties.

  • If an atom or a molecule contains one or more unpaired electrons spinning in same direction, clockwise or anticlockwise, then the substance is associated with net magnetic moment and magnetic properties. They experience a net force of attraction when placed in the magnetic field. This phenomenon is called paramagnetism and the substance is said to be paramagnetic.
  • For example : Oxygen, Cu2+, Fe3+, Cr3+ are some examples of paramagnetic substances.

vii. What are the consequences of Schottky defect?

Answer :

Consequences of Schottky defect :

  • As the number of ions decreases, mass decreases. However, volume remains unchanged. Hence, the density of a substance decreases.
  • The number of missing cations and anions is equal, the electrical neutrality of the compound is preserved.
  • This defect is found in ionic crystals such as NaCl, AgBr and KCl.

viii. Cesium chloride crystallizes in cubic unit cell with Cl- ions at the corners and a Cs+ ion in the centre of the cube. How many CsCl molecules are there in the unit cell?

Answer :

Number of Cs+ ion at body centre = 1 A

Number of Cl- ions due to 8 comers = \(\frac{1}{8}×8\) = 1

Hence unit cell contains 1 CsCl molecule.

ix. Cu crystallizes in fcc unit cell with edge length of 495 pm. What is the radius of Cu atom?

Answer :

Given : a = 495 pm

Radius, r = ?

For fcc structure,

Radius = r = \(\frac{a}{2\sqrt{2}}= \frac{495}{2\sqrt{2}}\)   = 175pm

Ans. Radius of Cu atom = 175 pm.

x. Obtain the relationship between density of a substance and the edge length of unit cell.

Answer :

Consider edge length of cubic unit cell is a, the

∴ Volume of unit cell = a3.

Suppose that mass of one particle is m and that there are n particles per unit cell.

∴ Mass of unit cell = m × n

The density of unit cell (ρ), which is same as density of the sub-substance is given by

Density of Unit Cell = \(\frac{\text{mass of unit cell}}{\text{volume of unit cell}}\)

∴ ρ = \(\frac{m×n}{a^3}\)

Question 4.

The density of iridium is 22.4 g/cm3. The unit cell of iridium is fcc. Calculate the radius of iridium atom. Molar mass of iridium is 192.2 g/mol.

Answer :

Given : Crystal structure of iridium = fcc

Molar mass of iridium = 192.2 gmol-1

Density = ρ = 22.4 gcm-3

Radius of iridium = ?

In fcc structure, there are 8 Ir atoms at 8 corners and 6 Ir atoms at 6 face centres.

Total number of Ir atoms = \(\frac{1}{8}×8 +\frac{1}{2}×6 \) = 1+3 = 4

Mass of Ir atom =   = 31.92 x 10-23 g

∴ Mass of 4 Ir atoms = 4 x 31.92 x 10-23 g = 1.277 x 10-21 g

Mass of unit cell = 1.277 x 10-21 g

Density of unit cell = \(\frac{\text{mass of unit cell}}{\text{volume of unit cell}}\)

22.4 = \(\frac{1.277×10^{-21}}{a^3}\)

a3 = \(\frac{1.277×10^{-21}}{22.4}\) = 57 x 10-24 cm3

∴ a = \((57×10^{-24})^{\frac{1}{3}}\) = 3.848 x 10-8 cm

If r is the radius of iridium atom, then for fcc structure,

r = \(\frac{a}{2\sqrt{2}}=\frac{3.848×10^{-8}}{2\sqrt{2}}\) = 1.36 x 10-8 cm = 136 pm

Ans: Radius of iridium atom = 136 pm.

Question 5.

Aluminium crystallizes in cubic close packed structure with unit cell edge length of 353.6 pm. What is the radius of Al atom? How many unit cells are there in 1.00 cm3 of Al?

Answer :

Given : Structure of Al = Cubic close packed structure = ccp structure

Edge length of unit cell = a = 353.6 pm = 3.536 x 10-8 cm

r = ?

Number of unit cells in 1.00 cm3 of Al = ?  (...V= 1.00 cm3 )

Radius of Al atom = r = \(\frac{a}{2\sqrt{2}}=\frac{353.6}{2\sqrt{2}}\) = 125 pm

Ans. Radius of Al atom = 125 pm

Volume of one unit cell = a3 = (3.536 x 10-8)3 = 4.421 x 10-23 cm3

Number of unit cells = \(\frac{V}{a^3}=\frac{1.00}{4.421×10^{-23}}\)

= 2.26 X 1022

Ans. Number of unit cells = 2.26 x 1022.

Question 6.

In an ionic crystalline solid atoms of element Y form hcp lattice. The atoms of element X occupy one third of tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound ?

Answer :

In the given hcp lattice, Y atoms are present at 12 corners and 2 face centres.

∴ Number of Y atoms = \(\frac{1}{6}×12 +\frac{1}{2}×2 \) = 2+1= 3

There are 6 tetrahedral voids, the number of X atoms = \(\frac{1}{3}×6\)  = 2

∴ Formula of the compound is X2Y3.

Question 7.

How are tetrahedral and octahedral voids formed?

Answer :

Tetrahedral void: All triangular voids of the first layers are not covered by the spheres of the second layer. The triangular voids that are covered by spheres of the second layer generate tetrahedral void.

The vacant space or void among four constituent particles having tetrahedral arrangement in the crystal lattice is called tetrahedral void.

The arrangement of four spheres around the void is tetrahedral. A tetrahedral void is formed when a triangular void made by three coplanar spheres is in contact with fourth sphere above or below it.

Octahedral void : The overlapping triangular voids from the two layers together form an octahedral void which is surrounded by six spheres.

The vacant space or void at the centre of six spheres (or atoms) which are placed octahedrally is called octahedral void.

Question 8.

Third layer of spheres is added to second layer so as to form hcp or ccp structure.

What is the difference between the addition of third layer to form these hexagonal close-packed structures?

Answer :

In the formation of hexagonal closed-packed (hcp) structure, the first one dimensional row shows depressions between neighbouring atoms.

When a second row is arranged so that spheres fit in these depressions then a staggered arrangement is obtained. If the first row is A then the second row is B.

When third row is placed in staggered manner in contact with second row then A type arrangement is obtained.

Similarly, the spheres in fourth row can be arranged as B type layer. This results in ABAB  type setting of the layers. This gives hexagonal close packing (hcp) structure.

Question 9.

An element with molar mass 27 g/mol forms cubic unit cell with edge length of 405 pm. If density of the element is 2.7 g/cm3. What is the nature of cubic unit cell?

Answer :

Given : Molar mass = M= 27 g m0l_‘

Nature of crystal = cubic unit cell

Edge length = a = 405 pm = 4.05 x 10-8 cm

Density = ρ = 2.7 g cm-3

Nature of unit cell = ?

 ρ = \(\frac{m×n}{a^3×N_A}\)

∴ n = \(\frac{ρa^3×N_A}{m}\) = \(\frac{2.7(4.05×10^{-8})^3×6.022x10^{23}}{27}\)

= 3.997 ≅ 4

Hence the nature of unit cell is face-centred cubic, unit cell

Ans. The nature of cubic unit cell is fcc.

Question 10.

An element has a bcc structure with unit cell edge length of 288 pm. How many unit cells and number of atoms are present in 200 g of the element?

(Density of element 7.2 gm/cm3 )

Answer :

Given: Types of unit cell = bcc, for bcc unit cell n = 2

Edge length (a) = 288 pm = 2.88 x 10-8 cm3

Mass of element (x) =200g

Density of element (r) = 7.2 gm/cm3

Number of unit cell in x g of element = \(\frac{x}{ρa^3}\)

= \(\frac{200}{7.2×(2.88×10^{-8})^3}\) = 1.16 x 1024

Number of atoms in x g of element = \(\frac{nx}{ρa^3}\)

= \(\frac{2x}{ρa^3}\)= 2 × 1.16 x 1024 = 2.32 x 1024

Ans. Number of unit cell in x g of element = 1.16 x 1024

Number of atoms in x g of element = 2.32 x 1024

Question 11.

Distinguish with the help of diagrams metal conductors, insulators and semiconductors from each other.

Answer :

Conductor :

1) A substance which conducts heat and electricity to a greater extent is called conductor.

2) In this, conduction bands and valence bands overlap or are very closely spaced.

3) There is no energy difference or very less energy difference between valence bands and conduction bands.

4) There are free electrons in the conduction bands.

5) The conductance decreases with the increase in temperature.

6) The conducting properties can’t be improved by adding third substance.

7) E.g., Metals, alloys.

Insulator :

1) A substance which cannot conduct heat and electricity under any conditions is called insulator.

2) In this, conduction bands and valence bands are far apart.

3) The energy difference between conduction bands and valence bands is very large.

4) There are no free electrons in the conduction bands and electrons can’t be excited from valence bands to conduction bands due to large energy difference.

5) No effect of temperature on conducting properties.

6) No effect of addition of any substance.

7) E.g., Wood, mbber, plastics.

Semiconductor:

1) A substance which has poor electrical conductance at low temperature but higher conductance at higher temperature is called semiconductor.

2) In this, conduction bands and valence bands are spaced closely.

3) The energy difference between conduction bands and valence bands is small.

4) The electrons can be easily excited from valence bands to conduction bands by heating.

5) Conductance increases with the increase in temperature.

6) By doping, conducting properties improve. E.g. n-type, p-type semiconductors.

7) E.g., Si, Ge.

Question 12.

What are n-type semiconductors? Why is the conductivity of doped n-type semiconductor higher than that of pure semiconductor? Explain with diagram.

Answer :

n-type semiconductor :

  • n-type semiconductor contains increased number of electrons in the conduction band.
  • When Si semiconductor is doped with 15th group element phosphorus, P, the new atoms occupy some vacant sites in the lattice in place of Si atoms.

  • P has five valence electrons, out of which four are involved in covalent bonding with neighbouring Si atoms while one electrons remains free and delocalised.
  • These free electrons increase the electrical conductivity of the semiconductor.
  • The semiconductors with extra non-bonding free electrons are called n-type semiconductors.

Question 13.

Explain with diagram, Frenkel defect. What are the conditions for its formation? What is its effect on density and electrical neutrality of the crystal?

Answer :

Frenkel defect : This defect arises when an ion of an ionic compound is missing from its regular site and occupies interstitial vacant position between lattice points.

  • Cations have smaller size than anions, hence generally cations occupy the interstitial sites.
  • This creates a vacancy defect at its original position and interstitial defect at new position.
  • Frenkel defect is regarded as the combination of interstitial defect and vacancy defect.

Conditions for the formation of Frenkel defect :

  • This defect arises in ionic compounds with a large difference between the sizes of cation and anion.
  • The ionic compounds must have ions with low coordination number.

Consequences of Frenkel defect :

  • As no ions are missing from the crystal lattice as a whole, the density of solid and its chemical properties remain unchanged.
  • The crystal as a whole remains electrically neutral because the equal numbers of cations and anions are present.
  • This defect is found in ionic crystals like ZnS, AgCl, AgBr, AgI, CaF2.

Question 14.

What is an impurity defect? What are its types? Explain the formation of vacancies through aliovalent impurity with example.

Answer :

Impurity defect : This defect arises when foreign atoms, that is, atoms different from the host atoms are present in the crystal lattice.

There are two types of impurity defects namely

(1) Substitutional defects and (2) Interstitial defects.

i. Substitutional impurity defect : In this defect, the foreign atoms are found at the lattice sites in place of host atoms. The regular atoms are displaced from their lattice sites by impurity atoms.

For example : Solid solutions of metals (alloys) : Brass is an alloy of Cu and Zn. In brass, host Cu atoms are replaced by impurity of Zn atoms. The Zn atoms occupy regular sites of Cu atoms as shown in Fig.

ii. Interstitial impurity defect :

A defect in solid in which the impurity atoms occupy interstitial vacant spaces of lattice structure is called interstitial impurity defect.

For example, in steel, normal lattice sites are occupied by Fe atoms but interstitial spaces are occupied by carbon atoms. .

Vacancy through aliovalent impurity : (By addition of impurities of aliovalent ions)

When aliovalent ion like Sr2+ in small amount is added by adding SrCl2 to NaCl during its crystallisation, each Sr2+ ion (oxidation state 2 +) removes 2 Na+ ions from their lattice points, to maintain electrical neutrality. Hence one of vacant lattice site is occupied by Sr2+ ion while other site remains vacant.
