A sample of ferrous oxide has actual formula Fe_{0.93 }O_{1.00}. In this sample, what fraction of metal ions are Fe^{2+} ions? What is the type of non-stoichiometric defect present in this sample?

Let the number of O^{2-} be 100 

 Then number of Fe^{2+}=x

Number of Fe^{3+}=93-x

To maintain electrical neutrality net positive charge is equal to net negative charge 

2x+393-x=2\times 100

2x+279-3x=200

  x=79

Fe^{2+}=79

\frac{Fe^{2+}}{Fe^{2+}+Fe^{3+}}=799

=0.849

 Metal deficiency defect is present in the sample because iron is less in amount  than that required for stoichiometric composition.

How does the doping increase the conductivity of semiconductors?

Conductivity of semiconductors are exceptionally low for practical use. Semiconductors are doped to generate either a surplus or deficiency in valence electrons depending on whether n-type semiconductors are required or p-type. An electron rich or electron deficient impurity as compared to the intrinsic semiconductor, silicon or germanium is used for doping. Electronic defects are introduced in them by such impurities.

  1. On doping silicon with electron rich impurities, the extra electron becomes delocalized increasing the conductivity of doped silicon. Hence silicon doped with electron-rich impurity is called n-type semiconductor due to the negatively charged electron. For ex. When group 15 elements are added to silicon
  2.  When silicon is doped with electron-deficit impurities to increase the conductivity through positive holes, this type of semiconductors are called p-type semiconductors. Ex. Addition of group 13 elements to group 14 element.

Show that in a cubic close packed structure, eight tetrahedral voids are present per unit cell.

In ccp, each unit cell consists of eight cubic components and the number of atoms per unit cell is given by

Nc*contribution+Nf*contribution  

=8\times \frac{1}{}8+6\times \frac{1}{2}=4
 
The tetrahedral voids are positioned at the centre of cubic cell.

In cubic close packing number of tetrahedral voids per unit cell = 8\times 1=8

With the help of a labelled diagram show that there are four octahedral voids per unit cell in a cubic close packed structure.

 

In ccp, one octahedral void is present at the centre of body surrounded by six atoms at the centre of respective face.
Where Nc=Number of atoms at corner 

 Nf=Number of atoms at face centre 

=Nc*contribution+Nf*contribution

=8\times 18+6\times 12=4

 Position of octahedral voids=Edge centre and body centre

 Number of octahedral voids per unit cell in cubic close packing=Ne\times \frac{1}{4}+Nb\times 1=12\times \frac{1}{4}+1\times 1=4

  Number of octahedral voids=4

In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
(d) Assertion is wrong but Reason is correct.

Assertion (A): Semiconductors are solids with conductivities in the intermediate range from 10^{-6}-10^{4}ohm^{-1}m^{-1}
 
Reason (R): Intermediate conductivity in semiconductor is due to partially filled valence band.

The answer is the option (c) Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
Conductance of semiconductors lies between metals and insulators, i.e., in the range of 10^{-6}-10^{4}ohm^{-1}m^{-1}

Valence band is either filled or empty in semiconductors, it is the gas which is in between conductors and insulators.

(a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
(d) Assertion is wrong but Reason is correct.

Assertion (A): The packing efficiency is maximum for the fcc structure.

Reason (R): The coordination number is 12 in fcc structures.

 

The answer is the option (b) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

 In fcc unit cell, there is ccp arrangement with packing efficiency of 74.01% which is maximum. In ccp arrangement, coordination number is 12.

In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
(d) Assertion is wrong but Reason is correct.

Assertion (A): 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 (R): 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.

The answer is the option (c)(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.

 There are 12 octahedral voids at the edge centre and 1 in the body centre.
So total number of octahedral voids present in unit cell of cubic close packing = 12 \times \frac{1}{2} +1 = 4

Assertion (A): Graphite is a good conductor of electricity, however, diamond belongs to the category of insulators.
Reason (R): Graphite is soft in nature on the other hand diamond is very hard and brittle.

The answer is the option (b)Assertion and reason both are correct statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

 Diamond is a non-conductor of electricity because all valence electrons of carbon are involved in bonding and thus there is no delocalised electron in its structure. In graphite, one valence electron is free to move between adjacent layers making it a good conductor.
In Graphite, parallel layers are held together by week van der Waals force. That is why it is soft. However, diamond is hard since C atom is covalently bonded with the adjacent 3 carbon atoms forming a 3-dimensional network.

Assertion (A): The total number of atoms present in a simple cubic unit cell is one.
Reason (R): Simple cubic unit cell has atoms at its comers, each of which is shared between eight adjacent unit cells.

The answer is the option (a) (a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
 In simple cubic unit cell since only corners are occupied by atoms, the total number of atoms is Z =\frac{1}{8} \times 8 =1 and Simple cubic unit cell has atoms at its comers, each of which is shared between eight adjacent unit cells.
