1 133 CHAPTER THE SOLID STATE 1. The ability of a substances to assume two or more crystalline structures is called [1990] Isomerism Polymorphism Isomorphism Amorphism 2. Most crystals show good cleavage because their atoms, ions or molecules are [1991] weakly bonded together strongly bonded together spherically symmetrical arranged in planes. 3. [1991] 4. The number of atoms contained in a fcc unit cell of a monoatomic substance is [1993] In the fluorite structure, the coordination number of Ca 2+ ion is: [1993] On doping Ge metal with a little of In or Ga, one gets [1993] p-type semi conductor n-tpe semi conductor insulator rectifier 7. In graphite electrons are: [1993] localised on each carbon atom spread out between the sheets localised on every third carbon atom present in antibonding orbital. 8. The pure crystalline substance on being heated gradually first forms a turbid liquid at constant temperature and still at higher temperature turbidity completely disappears. The behaviour is a characteristic of substance forming. [1993] Allotropic crystals Liquid crystals Isomeric crystals Isomorphous crystals. 9. When electrons are trapped into the crystal in anion vacancy, the defect is known as: [1994] Schottky defect Frenkel defect Stoichiometric defect F-centres 10.

For two ionic solids CaOand KI, identify the wrong statement amongst the following: [1997] The lattice energy of CaOis much large than that of KI KIis more soluble in water KIhas higher melting point CaOhas higher melting point 14. Schottky defect in crystals is observed when [1998] an ion leaves its normal site and occupies an interstitial site unequal number of cations and anions are missing from the lattice density of the crystal is increased equal number of cations and anions are missing from the lattice 15.
