1.42 The ratio less than 2:1 in Cu2O shows that some cuprous (Cu+) ions have been replaced by cupric (Cu+2) ions. To maintain electrical neutrality, every two Cu+ ions will be replaced by one Cu+2 ion, thereby creating a hole. As conduction will be due to the presence of these positive holes, hence it is a p -type semi conductor

1.41 These solids have conductive in the intermediate range from 10−6 to 104ohm−1m−1. As there is rise in
the temperature, conductivity also increases because electrons from the valence band jump to
conduction band.
Types of semiconductors
(a) n - type semiconductor when silicon or germanium crystal is doped with group 15 element like P or
As, the dopant atom forms four covalent bonds like a Si or Ge atom but the fifth electron no used in
bonding, becomes delocalised and contribute its share towards electrical conduction. Thus, silicon or
germanium doped with P or As is called n-type semiconductor (negative

Analysis shows that nickel oxide has the formula Ni0.98 O1.00. What fractions of nickel exist as Ni2+ and Ni3+ ions?
1.40 It is given that nickel oxide has the formula as Ni0.98 O1.00.
As per the formula, there are 98 Ni ions for 100 oxide ions.
Out of 98 Ni ions, let x ions be in +2 oxidation state
98−x ions will be in +3 oxidation state.
Oxide ion has −2 charge.
To maintain electrical neutrality, total positive charge on cations = total negative charge on anions.
2x+3(98−x)+100(−2)=0
x=94
Fraction of Ni2+ ions = 94/98 = 0.96
Fraction of Ni2+ ions = 98-94/98 = 0.04
Hence, the fractions of nickel that exists as Ni2+ and Ni3+ are 0.

98? x ions will be in +3 oxidation state.
Oxide ion has ?2 charge.
To maintain electrical neutrality, total positive charge on cations = total negative charge on anions.
2x+3 (98? x)+100 (?2)=0

Fraction of Ni2+ ions = 94/98 = 0.96
Fraction of Ni2+ ions = 98-94/98 = 0.04
Hence, the fractions of nickel that exists as Ni2+ and Ni3+ are 0.96 a
