\(\text { Density }(\rho)=\frac{\mathrm{nM}}{\mathrm{a}^{3} \mathrm{~N}_{\mathrm{A}}} \)
\(\mathrm{n}=4, \mathrm{M}=\text { Molar mass of } \mathrm{KF}=58.1 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol} \)
\(\rho=2.48 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3} \)
\(\mathrm{~N}_{\mathrm{A}}=6.023 \times 10^{23} \)
\(a^{3} =\frac{n M}{\rho N_{A}}=\frac{4 \times 58.1}{2.48 \times 6.023 \times 10^{23}} \)
\(a^{3} =15.55 \times 10^{-23} \)
\(a^{3} =0.1555 \times 10^{-21} \)
\(a =\sqrt[3]{0.1555 \times 10^{-21}} \)
\(a =0.5375 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~cm}=5.375 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~cm}=537.5 \mathrm{pm} \)
\(d =\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}(\text { for fcc }) [\therefore r = \frac{a\sqrt{2}}{4}]\)
\(=\frac{537.5}{1.414}=380.13 \mathrm{pm}\)
\(\therefore\) The distance between K+ and F- in KF = 380.13 pm
8.
Linear arrangement of spheres in one direction is repeated in two dimension (i.e.) more number of rows can be generated identical to the one dimensional arrangement such that all spheres of different rows align vertically as well as horizontal.
If we denote the first row as A type arrangement, then the above mentioned packing is called AAA type, because all rows are identical as the first one. In this arrangement each sphere is in contact with four of its neighbours.
9.
The structural units of an ionic crystal are cations and anions. They are bound together by strong electrostatic attractive forces. To maximize the attractive force, cations are surrounded by as many anions as possible and vice versa. Hence they are hard and brittle.
10.
(i) A basic repeating structural unit of a crystalline solid is called a unit cell.
(ii) A crystal is consisted of large number of unit cells.
11.
Schottky defect:
(i) Schottky defect arises due to the missing of equal number of cations and anions from the crystal lattice.
(ii) This effect does not change the stoichiometry of the crystal.
(iii) Ionic solids in which the cation and anion are of almost of similar size show schottky defect. Ex: NaCl.
(iv) Presence of large number of schottky defects in a crystal, lowers its density.
Frenkel defect:
(i) Frenkel defect arises due to the dislocation of ions from its crystal lattice.
(ii) The ion which is missing from the lattice point occupies an interstitial position.
(iii) This defect is shown by ionic solids in which cation and anion differ in size.
(iv) Unlike Schottky defect, this defect does not affect the density of the crystal.
(v) For example AgBr, in this case, small Ag+ ion leaves its normal site and occupies an interstitial position.
12.
Crystal defects are classified as follows
(i) Point defects
(ii) Line defects
(iii) Interstitial defects
(iv) Volume defects
Point defects are further classified as follows
13.
(i) Solids have definite volume and shape
(ii) Solids are rigid and incompressible
(iii) Solids have strong cohesive forces.
(iv) Their constituents have fixed positions and can only oscillate about their mean positions.
14.
(i) The colour develops because of the presence of electrons in the 8 anionic sites.
(ii) These electron absorb energy from the visible region of radiation and get excited.
(iii) For example when crystals of NaCl are heated in an atmosphere of sodium vapours, the sodium atoms get deposited on the surface of the crystal and the deposited Na atoms.
(iv) During this process, the Na atoms on the surface lose electrons to form Na+ ions
(v) These electrons get excited by absorbing energy from the visible light and impart yellow colour to the crystals.
15.
Metal excess defect:
(i) It arises due to the presence of more number of metal ions as compared to anions.
(ii) Examples: NaCl, KCl
(iii) The electrical neutrality of the crystal can be maintained by the presence of anionic vacancies equal to the presence of extra cation.
(iii) For example, when NaCI crystals are heated in the presence of sodium vapour, Na+ ions are formed and are deposited on the surface of the crystal.
(iv) Chloride ions (Cl-) diffuse to the surface from the lattice point and combines with Na+ ion.
(v) The electron lost by the sodium vapour diffuse into the vacancy created by the Cl- ions.
(vi) Such anionic vacancies which are occupied by unpaired electrons are called F centers. Hence, the formula of NaCl can be written as Na1+xCl.
Metal deficiency defect:
(i) Metal deficiency defect arises due to the presence of less number of cations than the anions. This defect is observed in a crystal in which, the cations have variable oxidation states.
(ii) For example, In FeO crystal, some of the Fe2+ ions are missing from the crystal lattice. To maintain the electrical neutrality, twice the number of other Fe2+ ions in the crystal is oxidized to Fe3+ ions. In such cases, overall number of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions is less than the O2- ions.
