A crystal is made of particle X, Y & Z. X forms FCC packing, Y occupies all octahedral

voids of X and Zoccupies all tetrahedral voids of X, if all the particles along one body

diagonal is removed then the formula of the crystal would be –

(1) XYZ₂

(2) X₂YZ₂

(3) X₅Y₄Z₅

(4) X₅Y₄Z₈

In a hypothetical solid C atoms are found to form cubical close packed lattice. Aatoms occupy all tetrahedral vioids& B atoms occupy all octahedral voids. A and B atoms are of appropriate size, so that there is no distortion in CCP lattice of C atoms. Now if a plane as shown in the following figure is cut.

Then the cross section of this plane will look like.

Spinel is an important class of oxides consisting of two types of metal ions with the oxide ions arranged inCCP pattern. The normal spinel has 1/ 8 of the tetrahedral holes occupied by one type of metal ion and 1/2 of the octahedral holes occupied by another type of metal ion. Such a spinel is formed by Zn²+, A1³* and 0^2-with Zn²+ in the tetrahedral holes. If CCP arrangement of oxide ions remains undistorted in the presence of all the cations, formula of spinel and fraction of the packing fraction of crystal are respectively :

(1) ZnAl₂O₄ , 77%

(2) ZnAl₂O₄, 74%

(3) Zn₂AlO₄, 74%

(4) Zn₃Al₂O_6,74%

What is the maximum number of layers of atoms in close-packed planes that will lie within two imaginary parallel planes having a distance between them of 13$\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$ R (where R is the radius of an atom) in the copper crystal (FCC)?
Consider the atoms to be within the parallel planes if their centers are on or within the two parallel planes.

Which of the following statements is correct about the conduction of electricity in pure crystal of silicon atroom temperature?

(1) The conduction is due to electrons present in fully occupied lowest energy states.

(2) The conduction is due to only some electrons capable of leaving the bonds at room temperature.

(3) The conduction is only due to the holes formed from the release of electrons.

(4) The conduction is due to the movement of both the electrons released and holes formed.
