31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 16

If NaCl is doped with 10– 4 mol % of SrCl2, the concentration of cation vacancies will be (NA = 6.02 × 1023 mol–1) [2007]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 16

NaCl is doped with 10-4 moles of SrCl2, i.e., 100 moles of NaCl are dropped in 10-4 moles of SrCl2.
That means, 1 mole of NaCl is dropped in 10-6 mole of SrCl2.
Thus, one Sr2+ creates one cation vacancy.
So, the number of cation vacancies = the Number of the mole of SrCl2 × Avogadro’s number
= 10-6 × 6.023 × 1023
= 6.023 × 1017

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 18

The appearance of colour in solid alkali metal halides is generally due to [2006]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 18
  • Alkali halides like NaCl and KCl show metal excess defects due to anionic vacancies.
  • When crystals of NaCl are heated in an atmosphere of sodium vapour the sodium atoms are deposited on the surface of the crystal.
  • The Cl- ions diffuse to the surface of the crystal and combine with Na atoms to give NaCl.
  • This happens by the loss of Valance electrons by Na atoms to form Na+ ions.
  • The released electrons diffuse into the crystal and occupy anionic sites.
  • As a result the crystal now has an excess of sodium.
  • The anionic sites occupied by unpaired electrons are called Fcentres (from the German word, Farbenzenter for colour centre).
  • They impact yellow colour to the crystals of NaCl.
  • The colour results from the excitation of these electrons when they absorb energy from the visible light falling on the crystals.
  • Similarly excess of Li makes LiCi crystals pink, and excess of K makes KCl crystal violet (or lilac).
31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 19

In face-centred cubic lattice, a unit cell is shared equally by how many unit cells? [2005]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 19

An isolated fcc cell is shown here.

  • Each face of the cell is common to two adjacent cells.
  • Therefore, each face centre atom contributes only half of its volume and mass to one cell.
  • Arranging six cells each sharing the remaining half of the face-centred atoms, constitutes fcc cubic lattice. e.g., Cu and Al.

Therefore a cubic unit cell has six faces. In a cubic lattice irrespective of its nature, a cubic unit cell is shared equally by 6 unit cells.

A compound for med by elemen ts X an d Y crystallizes in a cubic structure in which the X atoms are at the corners of a cube and the Y atoms are at the face centres. The formula of the compound is [2004]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 20

As only 1 atom can accommodate on 1 corner of a cube,

No. of X - atoms per unit cell = 8/8 = 1

As 2 atoms can accommodate on 1 face of a cube,

No. of Y - atoms per unit cell = 6/2 = 3

Hence Compound is XY3

A compound is formed by elements A and B. The crystalline cubic structure has the A atoms at the corners of the cube and B atoms at the body centre. The simplest formula of the compound is [2000]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 22

Given:

Atoms are present in the corners of cube = A

Atom present at body centre = B.

We know that a cubic unit cell has 8 corners.

Therefore the contribution of each atom at the corner =

Since the number of atoms per unit cell is 8, therefore the total contribution

We also know that atoms are in the body centre, therefore the number of atoms per unit cell = 1.

Thus the formula of the compound is AB.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 25

For two ionic solids CaO and KI, identify the wrong statement amongst the following : [1997]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 25
  • KI is an ionic compound (polar compound), so, it won't be soluble in a non-polar solvent. Hence, it will not get dissolved in benzene because benzene is a non-polar solvent. 
  • Lattice energy is directly proportional to the product of charge and CaO has more charge compared to KI.
  • Lattice energy leads to a high melting point.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

In graphite electrons are : [1993]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: The Solid State (Old NCERT) - Question 29

In graphite, the electrons are spread out between the sheets.

Explanation: 

  • Each carbon atom uses three of its electrons to form simple bonds with its three close neighbours.
  • That leaves the fourth electron in the bonding level.
  • These "spare" electrons in each carbon atom become delocalized over the whole of the sheet of atoms in one layer.
  • They are no longer associated directly with any particular atom or pair of atoms but are free to wander throughout the whole sheet.
