the fee unit cell.
2. Why are crystalline solids anisotropic?
3. What is meant by ‘doping’ in a semiconductor?

SECTION B
8. (a) Why does LiCl acquire pink colour when heated in Li vapours? (b) A solid
with cubic crystal is made of two elements ‘P’ and ‘Q’ Atoms of ‘Q’ are at the
comers of the cube and ‘P’ at body centre. What is the formula of compound?
9. Copper crystallizes into a fcc lattice with edge length 3.61 X 10-8 cm. Calculate
the density of copper [Given: Cu = 63.5 g mol-1, NA = 6.022 X 1023mol-1]
10. Write a feature which will distinguish a metallic solid from an ionic solid.

mol of it? How many of these are tetrahedral voids?
12. (i) Write the type of magnetism observed when the magnetic moments are
oppositely aligned and cancel out each other.
(ii) Which stoichiometric defect does not change » the density of the crystal?
13. Silver crystallises in face-centred cubic unit cells. Each side of the unit cell
has a length of 409 pm. What is the radius of silver atom?
14. (a) What type of semiconductor is obtained when silicon is doped with
boron?
