Ferromagnetism: The substances that are strongly attracted by a magnetic field are called ferromagnetic substances can be permanently magnetised even in the absence of a magnetic field. Some examples of ferromagnetic substances are iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, and CrO2. In solid state, the meta

1.48 It is given that aluminum crystallises in a cubic closed packed structure.
Its metallic radius is 125 pm.

For cubic close-packed structure

a=2√2r=2√2×125=354 pm

Here, a is the edge length of the unit cell and r is the atomic radius.

(ii) Volume of one unit cell = a3 =(354 pm)3=4.4×10−23cm3(1 pm=10−1

Schottky defect: Schottky defect is basically a vacancy defect shown by ionic solids. In this defect, an equal number of cations and anions are missing to maintain electrical neutrality. It decreases the density of a substance. Significant number of Schottky defects is present in ionic solids. For e

1.47 The energy gap between the valence band and conduction band in an insulator is very large while in a conductor, the energy gap is very small or there is overlapping between valence band and conduction band.
(ii) In a conductor, the valence band is practically filled or there is overlapping betw

1.45 For fcc unit cell, a=2√2?.

Here, a is the edge length and r is the atomic radius (0.144 nm).

a = 2√2 ×0.144 = 0.407 nm

Hence, the length of a side of a cell is 0.407 nm.

1.44 Ge is group 14 element and In is group 13 element. Hence an electron deficient hole is created and therefore, it is p–type.
2. B is group 13 elements and Si is group 14 elements, there will be a free electron. Hence, it is n-type
