Chemistry Solid States

75. Assertion: Total number of octahedral voids present in unit cell of cubic close packing including the one that is present at the body centre, is four.

Reason: Besides the body centre there is one octahedral void present at the centre of each of the six faces of the unit cell and each of which is shared between two adjacent unit cells.

75. Option (iii) Assertion is the correct statement, but the reason is wrong is the answer since besides the body centre there is one octahedral void at the centre of each 12 edges which is shared between four adjacent unit cells. Thus, Octahedral voids present at the body centre of the cube = 1

12 octahedral voids are located at each edge and shared between four-unit cells = 12 * $\frac{1}{2}$ = 3

Total number of octahedral voids = 4.

74. Option (ii) Assertion and reason both are correct statements, but reason is not correct explanation for assertion is the answer since in graphite carbon atoms are arranged in different layers and each atom is covalently bonded to three of its neighbouring atoms in the same layer due to which the fourth valence electron of each atom, present between the different layers is free to move and this makes graphite a good conductor of electricity.

As different layers can slide over each other which makes it soft. while in case of diamond C atom is bonded covalently with their adjacent atoms throughout the crystal. Thus, all the four v

67. Options (ii) and (iv) are correct since Vacancy and Schottky, both the defects lead to the decrease in the density while in the Frenkel and Interstitial defect there is no change in the density of the substance.

66. Frenkel defect is also known as ________.

(i) Stoichiometric defect

(ii) Dislocation defect

(iii) Impurity defect

(iv) Non-stoichiometric defect

66. Options (i) and (ii) are correct since in this defect an atom is displaced from its lattice point to an interstitial site and thus creating a vacancy at the lattice point. This usually occurs when the size of anion is quite large as compared to that of the cation due to which it leads to the dislocation of the cation to the interstitial site and hence it is known as dislocation defect and during this defect there is no change in the stoichiometry of the crystal so, it is also known as stoichiometric defect.
