If the lattice parameter for a crystalline structure is 3.6 A, then atomic radius in fcc crystal is

  • 1.18 A

  • 2.10 A

  • 2.92 A

  • 1.27 A

Solution

D.

1.27 A

Atomic radius is the distance between two nearest neighbours. For Fcc crystal 

Atomic space radius space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 square root of 2 end fraction space straight x space lattice space parameter
or space space straight r space equals space fraction numerator straight a over denominator 2 square root of 2 end fraction
straight r equals space fraction numerator 3.6 over denominator 2 square root of 2 end fraction space straight A to the power of straight o space equals space 1.27 space straight A to the power of straight o

Question

Which one of the following bonds produces a solid that reflects light in the visible region and whose electrical conductivity decreases with temperature and hs high melting point?

  • metallic bonding

  • van der Waal's bonding

  • Ionic bonding

  • covalent bonding

Solution

A.

metallic bonding

Metallic bonding is formed due to the attraction of valence (free) electrons with the positive ion cores. Their conductivity decreases with rising of temperature. When visible light falls on a metallic crystal, the electrons of atoms absorb visible light, so they are opaque to visible light. However, some orbital electrons absorb energy and reach to an excited state. They then return to their normal state, remitting light of the same frequency.

Assertion:  Unlike electric force and gravitational forces, nuclear force has limited range.

Reason:  Nuclear force do not obey inverse square law.

  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

  • If assertion is true but reason is false.

  • If both assertion and reason are false.

Solution

B.

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Gravitational force:- Weakest force, but infinite range ( not part of standard model)

Weak Nuclear Force:- Next weakest, but short range

Electromagnetic Force:- Stronger, with infinite range

Strong Nuclear force:- strongest, but short range
