Correct Option: C

$NaCl$ shows Schottky defects and $AgCl$ Frenkel defects. Their electrical conductivity is due to ________.

  1. motion of ions and not the motion of electrons

  2. notion of electrons and not the motion of ions

  3. lower coordination number of $NaCl$

  4. higher coordination number of $AgCl$


Correct Option: A

  1. Many d-block and f-block elements.

  2. Many s-block elements

  3. Many p-block elements

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A

Calculate the dencity of NaCl type ionic solid AB($M _{w}$=60) in $gm/CM^{3}$ if shortest distance between two nearest neighbours is 100 pm &solid having $20\%$ schottky defect$(N _{A}=6\times10^{23}$)

  1. 10

  2. 20

  3. 30

  4. 40


Correct Option: C

When NaCl is doped with ${ 10 }^{ -3 }$ mole % of Sr${ Cl } _{ 2 }$, what is the number of cationic vacancies?

  1. ${ 10 }^{ -5 }\times { N } _{ A }$

  2. ${ 10 }^{ -7 }\times { N } _{ A }$

  3. 6.022$\times{ 10 }^{8 }{ N } _{ A }$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C

The composition of a sample of iron oxide is $Fe _{0.93}O _{1.0}$. What percentage of iron is present in the form of Fe(III)?

  1. $5.053$

  2. $10.053$

  3. $15.053$

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the percentage amount of Fe(III) be x and the amount of Fe(II) be $1-x$. Hence,  
$3x+2(1-x) = 2/0.93 = 2.15053$
On solving, we get, $x = 0.15053$
So, % of 
Fe(III) = 15.053

The defect observed in solid substances having low coordination number is

  1. Schottky

  2. Frenkel

  3. Vacancy

  4. All of these


Correct Option: A

  2. $12.04 \times {10^{18}}mo{l^{ - 1}}$

  3. $3.01 \times {10^{18}}mo{l^{ - 1}}$

  4. $12.04 \times {10^{20}}mo{l^{ - 1}}$


Correct Option: A

According to recent studies which of the following interstitial hydrides have simi-lattices that of their parent metals

  1. $La, Yb, W$

  2. $Yb, W, V$

  3. $V, I, a$

  4. $N, Pd, Ce, Ac$


Correct Option: A

Which of the following is an interstitial compound?

  1. $ PdCl _2 $

  2. $ NH _3 $

  3. $ZnO$

  4. $TiH$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

An interstitial compound is a compound that is formed when an atom with a small enough radius sits in an interstitial hole in a metal lattice.  examples of small atoms are boron, carbon and nitrogen.  these compounds play important role in industries. Examples: TiH, Fe3H and Mn4N
