ZnO crystals on heating acquires the formuls `Zn(1+x)O`.
Or
There is an increase in conductivity when silicon doped with phosphorus. Give reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On heating, ZnO loses oxygen `O^(2-)` ions and changes to `Zn^(2+)` ions. Due to the presence of excess `Zn^(2+)` ions, `Zn(1+x)O` is formed.
Or
As as result of doping of group 14 element with group 15 element, the extra electrons available are responsible for increase in electrical conductivity. n-p type semi-conductors are formed as a result of this.

Doping mens introduction of small amount of impurities like phosphorus , arsenic or boron into the pure crystal . In pure silicon , ther are four valenices used in bonding with other four adjacent silicon crystal is doped with a group -15 element ( with five valence electron ) such as P, As , or Bi , the structure of the crystal lattic remains unchanged . Out of the five valence electron of group -15 doped element four element are used in normal covalent bonding with silicon while fiffth electron is delcoasiled and thus conducts electricity Doping a silicon crystal with a group -13 element (with three valence electrons ) such as B, Al, Ga or In products a semiconductor with three electrons in in dopant . The place where fourth electron is missing is called an electron vacancy or hole . Such hole can move throught the crystal like a positive charge giving rise conduction of electricity. Silicon that has been dopend with group - 15 elements is called :
