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. No. of valene electrons in silicon are :

A compound (X) on heating with an excess of NaOH solution gives a gas (Y) which gives white fumes on exposure to HCl. Heating is continued to expel the gas completely. The resultant alkaline solution again liberates the same gas (Y) when heated with Zn powder. However, when the compound (X) is heated alone does not give nitrogen. Identify (X) and (Y).
