Which of the following when dissolved in water forms a solution, i.e, non-conducting?
Chile salt petre
Potash alum
Green vitriol
ethyl alcohol
In NaCl crystal each Cl- ion is surrounded by
4 Na+ ions
6 Na+ ions
1 Na+ ions
2 Na+ ions
B.
6 Na+ ions
NaCl has octahedral structure.
In NaCl crystal, Cl- ions adopt cubic dose packed arrangement and Na+ ions occupy all the octahedral sites. Therefore, Na and Cl have 1 : 1 stoichiometry. In other words, each Na+ ion is surrounded by six Cl- ions which are disposed towards the comers of a regular octahedron. Similarly, each Cl- ion is surrounded by six Na+ ions.
The radius ratio in CsCl is 0.93. The expected lattice structure is
tetrahedral
square planar
octahedral
body-centred cubic
Which defect causes decrease in the density of crystal?
Frenkel
Schottky
Interstitial
F - centre
