Which of the following statements about ionic crystals is false?
Melting and boiling temperature of ionic crystals are very high
These are soluble in water and other solvent
At low temperature in sold state they are good conductor of electricity.
They have high cohesive energy
The structure of ionic compound with Schottky defects has
same number of cationic and anionic vacancies
anionic vacancy and interstitial anion
cationic vacancies
cationic vacancies and interstitial cation
If a pentavalent impurity is mixed in the crystal-lattice of germanium then the semiconductor formed will be
p-type semiconductor
n-type semiconductor
(a) and (b) both
None of the above
B.
n-type semiconductor
Pentavalent elements have one excess valence electron after forming the four covalent bond normally formed by germanium. The excess electrons give rise to electrical conductance. It is called n-type semi-conductors, the symbol 'n' indicates that the negative charge flows in them.
A compound formed by elements X and Y crystallises in a cubic structure in which the X atoms are at the comers of a cube and the Y atoms are at the face centres. The formula of the compound is
XY3
X3Y
XY
XY2
A solid metal has ccp or fcc structure. The relation of side of cube (a) and radius of atom (r) will be
a= 2r
a= 2√2r
The flame colours of metal ions are due to
Schottky defect
Frenkel defect
metal excess defect
metal deficiency defect
