Potassium fluoride has NaCl type structure. What is the distance between K+ and F- ions, if edge length of unit cell is 'a'.
2a
4a
The flame colours of metal ions are due to
Schottky defect
Frenkel defect
Metal excess defect
Metal deficient defect
C.
Metal excess defect
The metal excess defect contain holes, created by missing anions, these are occupied by electrons and are called F-centers. These F-centers are responsible for the colour of the crystal.
An alloy of copper, silver and gold is found to have copper atom constituting the ccp lattice. If silver atom occupy the edge centres and gold atom is present at body centred, the alloy has a formula
Cu4Ag2Au
Cu4Ag4Au
Cu4Ag3Au
CuAgAu
A metal has bee structure and the edge length of its unit cell is 3.04 . The volume of the unit cell in cm3 will be
The density of solid argon is 1.65 g per cc at -233°C. If the argon atom is assumed to be a sphere of radius 1.54 × 10-8 cm, what percent of solid argon is apparently empty space? (Ar = 40)
16.5%
38%
50%
62%
A solid compound XY has NaCl structure. If the radius of the cation is 100 pm, the radius of the anion (Y- ) will be
275.1 pm
322.5 pm
241.5 pm
165.7 pm
A crystalline solid
changes rapidly from solid to liquid
has no definite melting point
undergoes deformation of its geometry easily
soften easily
Most crystals show good cleavage because their atoms, ions or molecules are
weakly bonded together
strongly bonded together
spherically symmetrical
arranged in planes
