A metallic element crystallises into a lattice containing a sequence of layers of ABABAB... Any packing of spheres leaves out voids in the lattice. Volume percentage of empty space is 

A

`52%`

B

`26%`

C

`50%`

D

`74%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
AB-AB pattern are possible for both HCP & BCC.
`"For HCP P.F = 74% , V.F = 100-74 = 26% (empty space)"`
`"For BCC P.F=68% , V.F = 100-98 = 32% (Empty space)"`

Oxidation number is the charge which an atom of an element has in its ion or appears to have when present in the combined state. It is also called oxidation state. Oxidation number of any atom in the elementary state is zero. Oxidation number of a monoatomic ion is equal to the charge on it. In compounds of metals with non metals, metals have positive oxidation number while non metals have negative oxidation numbers. In compounds of two difference elements, the more electronegative element has negative oxidation number whereas the other has positive oxidation number. In complex ions, the sum of the oxidation number of all the atoms is equal to the charge on the ion. If a compound contains two or more atoms of the same element, they may have same or different oxidation states according as their chemical bonding is same or different. A compound of Xe and F is found to have 53.3% Xe (atomic weight =133). Oxidation number of Xe in this compound is

Read the following passage and answer the questions at the end of it. Conductivity of silicon increases if it is doped with certain other elements. Doping means introduction of small amount of impurities like phosphorus, arsenic or boron in the pure crystal. In pure silicon four valencies are used in bonding with other four adjacent silicon atoms. When a silicon crystal is doped with a group - 15 element (with five valence electrons) such as P, AsSb or Bi, the structure of the crystal lattice remains unchanged. Out of the five valence electrons of group - 15 doped element, four electrons are used in normal covalent bonding with silicon and fifth electron is delocalised and thus conducts electricity Doping a silicon crystal with a group-13 element (with three valence electron) such as B, Al, Ga or In produces a semiconductor with three electrons in dopant. The place where fourth electron is missing is called as electron vacancy or hole. If NaCl is doped with 10^(-3)" mol % " SrCl_(2) then concentration of cation vacancies is
