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. 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 th

65. Options (i) and (iv) are correct since when the tetrahedral void of the first layer and the tetrahedral void of the second layer align together, they form an octahedral void, and this is possible in case of hep and fcc arrangements.

64. Options (i), (ii) and (iii) are correct since SiC, AlN, and diamond are not regarded as molecular solids, instead they come under network or covalent solids.

61. Options (i) and (iii) are correct since n-type semiconductors are prepared by doping silicon with pentavalent elements of group 15 (like P or As). Some of the lattice sites in silicon crystals are occupied by the fifth electron which is left over as extra electron and couldn't form a bond w

60. Options (i) and (iii) are correct since the structure of the amorphous solids is similar to that of the liquids and hence they tend to flow like liquids, although very slowly. So, sometimes they are known as super cooled liquids or pseudo solids.

59. Options (ii) and (iii) are correct since the number of tetrahedral voids per unit cell in NaCl is calculated as-

Since NaCl crystal forms fcc lattice so,  

The number of atoms (n) per unit cell = 4 

So, the number of octahedral voids = n = 4 

While the number of tetrahedral voids
