A crystalline structure shows good cleavage when their atoms, ions or molecules are

  1. weakly bonded together

  2. strongly bonded together

  3. spherically symmetrical

  4. arranged in planes

  5. Both option 1 and 2


Correct Option: D

A crystal compound of a cubic structure is made up of two elements ‘A’ and ‘B', such that atoms ‘A’ are at the corners and atoms ‘B’ are at the center of the lattice. The formula of the compound is _______ .

  1. AB

  2. AB2

  3. A2B

  4. AB4

  5. ABO


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

AB is the formula of the compound that has atoms ‘A’ are at the corners of the cube and atoms ‘B’ are at the centre of the body.

Which of the following is/are non-stoichiometric compound?

  1. PbO

  2. NiO2

  3. Al2O3

  4. Fe3O4

  5. Options 2 and 3


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Non-stoichiometric compounds are those materials in which some small percentage of atoms are missing, or too many atoms are packed into an otherwise perfect lattice work.

Which of the following is/are responsible for Frenkel defect?

  1. The shift of a positive ion from its normal lattice site to an interstitial site

  2. An ion missing from the normal lattice site creating a vacancy

  3. An extra positive ion occupying an interstitial position in the lattice

  4. An extra negative ion occupying an interstitial position in the lattice

  5. Both (3) and (4)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Frenkel defect is caused due to the shift of a positive ion from its normal lattice site to an interstitial site.

How many number of atoms are present in the unit cell of bcc and fcc type crystals?

  1. 2 and 4 respectively

  2. 4 and 2 respectively

  3. 9 and 14 respectively

  4. 14 and 9 respectively

  5. Both unit cell have 4 atoms


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

BCC and FCC have 2 and 4 atoms per unit cell, respectively.

In a laboratory, NaCl is made by burning Na in the atmosphere of Cl, which is yellow in colour. The yellow colour is due to the presence of

  1. electrons in the crystal lattice

  2. Na+ ions in the crystal lattice

  3. Cl- ions in the crystal lattice

  4. face-centred cubic crystal lattice

  5. gold in the crystal lattice


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a laboratory, sodium chloride is made by burning sodium in the atmosphere of chlorine, which is yellow in colour. The cause of yellow colour is the presence of electrons in the crystal lattice.

Due to the Frenkel defect, the density of ionic solids

  1. increases

  2. decreases

  3. remains the same

  4. either decrease or increase

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The density of ionic solids does not change due to the Frenkel defect. Hence, this is the correct answer.
