Compounds having general molecular formula \(AFe_{ 2 }O_{ 4 }\) are called ferrites and posses spinel type structures. Some common examples are \(MgFe_{ 2 }O_{ 4 }\) and \(ZnFe_{ 2 }O_{ 4 }\) They may be thought of being formed by replacing \(Fe^{ 2+ }\) ions present in \(Fe_{ 3 }O_{ 4 }\) by bivalent cations such as \(Mg^{ 2+ },Zn^{ 2+ }\) ions etc. Now answer the following questions :
(i) What types of materials are ferrites?
(ii) What are the main uses of ferrites?
1.
( )
The density decreases in the case of Schottky defect, whereas it remain the same in the case of Frenkel defect.
2.
( )
It is due to presence of F-centre. Electrons present at the site of anion forming f-centre absorb ligh form visible region and radiate complementary colour.
3.
( )
Schottky defect.
4.
( )
Silicon doped with Gallium will be p-type semiconductor.
5.
( )
Metal excess defect: Excessof metal ions and formation of F-centre due to trapped electrons are responsible for colour in alkali halides.
6.
( )
It is due to the presence of unpaired electrons which occupy anionic sites called F- centres due to metal excess defect. These electrons absorb energy from the visible region and radiate yellow colour.
7.
( )
The particles of solids are closely packed, therefore, they cannot be brought further closer; i.e. they cannot be compressed.
8.
( )
The liquids and gases have a property to flow, therefore, they are categorised as fluids.
9.
( )
It is because glass windows are thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top. it shows that glass can flow, that is why it is called super cooled liquid.
10.
( )
(i) Z = 2 for bcc element
(ii) Z = 4 for fcc element
11.
( )
\(Q=8\times \frac { 1 }{ 8 } =1, \ P=1\)
\(\therefore\) Formula of compound is PQ.
12.
( )
It is because it forms n-type semiconductor in which electrons are free to move.
13.
In ccp structure, there are 8 tetrahedral voids. In dose-packed structure, there are eight spheres in the corner of the unit cell and each sphere is in contact with three others giving rise to eight tetrahedral voids.
14.
In a ccp structure, there is 1 octahedral void in the centre of the body and 12 octahedral voids are on 12 edges of the cube.Each octahedral void on the edge is

common to four other unit cells (as shown in figure). Thus, in cubic close-packed structure, octahedral voids in the centre of the cube = 1.
Effective number of octahedral voids on edges = 12 x 1/4 = 3
Total number of octahedral voids = 1 + 3 = 4
15.
Y = 8 ×\(\frac{1}{8}\)= 1; X = 1,
∴ Formula is XY.
16.
Structure of alkali metal halides: At ordinary temperature and pressure,halides of alkali metals (iodides, bromides and chlorides of lithium, sodium, potassium and rubidium) posses NacI type structure with 6:6 coordination.
When high pressure is applied, the coordination number increases and the alkali metal halides transform to CsCI structure with coordination number 8:8.
17.
Ferromagnets. The substances which are strongly attracted by the magnetic field and do not lose their magnetism even in the absence of magnetic field are called ferromagnets. For example, Fe3O4 .
Ferroelectrics: the substance in which the dipoles may even in the absence of electric field and the direction of polarisation may change by applying electric field are called ferroelectrices. For example barium titanate (BaTiO3).
18.
For a fcc structure, length of the unit cell is related to radius of atom as
\(r=\frac { a }{ 2\sqrt { 2 } } \)
\(\\ or \ a=2\sqrt { 2 } r\)
\(=2\times 1.414\times 127.8 \ pm=361.42pm\)
\(Density, \ \rho =\frac { Z\times M }{ { a }^{ 3 }\times { N }_{ A } } \)
\(=Z=4(for \ fcc),M=63.55 \ g \ { mol }^{ -1 }\)
\(a=361.42\times { 10 }^{ -12 }m=361.42\times { 10 }^{ -10 }cm\)
\({ N }_{ A }=6.02\times { 10 }^{ 23 }\)
\(\rho =\frac { 4\times 63.55 }{ { \left( 361.42\times { 10 }^{ -10 } \right) }^{ 3 }\times 6.02\times { 10 }^{ 23 } }\)
\(=8.94 \ g{ cm }^{ -3 }\)
\(Density, \ \rho =\frac { Z\times M }{ { a }^{ 3 }\times { N }_{ A } } \)
\(a=286.65pm=286.65\times { 10 }^{ -12 }m\)
\(=286.65\times { 10 }^{ -10 }cm\)
\(\ Z=2(for \ bcc), \ M=56.0\)
\(\rho =7.87 \ g{ cm }^{ -3 }\)
\(7.87=\frac { 2\times 56.0 }{ { \left( 286.65\times { 10 }^{ -10 } \right) }^{ 3 }\times { N }_{ A } }\)
\( { N }_{ A }=\frac { 2\times 56.0 }{ { \left( 286.65\times { 10 }^{ -10 } \right) }^{ 3 }\times 7.87 } \)
\(=6.04\times { 10 }^{ 23 }\)
