An excess of potassium ions makes KCL crystals appear violet or lilac colour since ................
(a) some of the anionic sites are occupied by an unpaired electron
(b) some of the anionic sites are occupied by a pair of electrons
(c) there are vacancies at some anionic sites
(d) F-centres are created which impart colors to the crystals
Cations are present in the interstitial sites in ...........
(a) Frenkel defect (b) Schottky defect
(c) vacancy defect (d) metal deficiency defect
If NaCl is doped with 10−3mol % of SrCl2′, each Sr2+ ion replaces two Na+ ions, but occupies only one lattice point in place of Na+ ion. This creates one cation vacancy.
Which of the following defects decrase the density ?
(a) Interstitial defect (b) Vacancy defect
(c) Frenkel defect(d) Schottky defect
Schottky defect is observed in crystals when .....................
(a) some cations move from their lattice site to interstitial sites
(b) equal number of cation and anions are missing from the lattice
(c) some lattice sites are occupied by electrons
(d) some impurity is present in the lattice
