Rock salt (NaCl) is fcc type structure, z = 4
M = 64 g mol-1, a = 418 pm
theoretical density (d) =
= 5.82 g cm-3
Experimental density = 4.92 g cm-3
thus, experimental density << theoretical density
thus, there is vacancy in the crystal
d= Mass / Volume
Due to decrease in density, molar mass should decrease. this indicates Schottky defect.

The Defect Present in the Crystal is of the Type Frenkel
Given Information:
- Titanium (II) oxide (TiO) has a rock salt structure.
- X-ray diffraction data shows that the length of one edge of the cubic unit cell for TiO with a 1:1 ratio of Ti to O is 418 pm.
- The density of TiO is 4.92 g cm-3.
- The atomic mass of Ti is 48.
Explanation:
Rock Salt Structure:
The rock salt structure is a type of crystal structure in which the cations and anions are arranged in a cubic close-packed structure. In this structure, each cation is surrounded by six anions, and each anion is surrounded by six cations.
Calculating the Number of Ti and O Atoms:
Since the ratio of Ti to O in TiO is 1:1, the number of Ti and O atoms in the unit cell will be the same.
Calculating the Volume of the Unit Cell:
The length of one edge of the cubic unit cell is given as 418 pm. Since it is a cube, the volume of the unit cell can be calculated as the cube of the length of one edge.
Volume of the unit cell = (418 pm)^3 = 74,807,352 pm^3
Converting the Volume to cm^3:
1 pm = 10^-10 m = 10^-8 cm
Volume of the unit cell = 74,807,352 pm^3 * (10^-8 cm/pm)^3 = 7.4807352 cm^3
Calculating the Number of Formula Units in the Unit Cell:
The molecular weight of TiO can be calculated as follows:
Molecular weight of TiO = (Atomic mass of Ti) + (Atomic mass of O)
= 48 + 16 = 64 g/mol
The number of formula units in the unit cell can be calculated using the Avogadro's number:
Number of formula units = (Number of atoms in the unit cell) / (Number of atoms in 1 mole)
= (Number of atoms in the unit cell) / (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol)
Calculating the Density:
The density of a substance is given by the formula:
Density = (Mass of the substance) / (Volume of the substance)
In this case, the mass of the substance can be calculated as follows:
Mass of the substance = (Number of formula units) * (Molecular weight of TiO)
Now, we can substitute the given values to calculate the density:
Density = (Number of formula units) * (Molecular weight of TiO) / (Volume of the unit cell)
Calculating the Density:
Substituting the given values:
4.92 g cm-3 = (Number of formula units) * (64 g/mol) / (7.4807352 cm^3)
Simplifying the equation:
(Number of formula units) = (4.92 g cm-3) * (7.4807352 cm^3) / (64 g/mol)
Calculating the number of formula units:
(Number of formula units) = 0.571
