Solid State Question 294

Question: The correct statement in the following is

[MP PET 1997]

Options:

A) The ionic crystal of $ AgBr $ has Schottky defect

B) The unit cell having crystal parameters, $ a=b\ne c, $ $ \alpha =\beta =90^{o},\gamma =120^{o} $ is hexagonal

C) In ionic compounds having Frenkel defect the ratio $ \frac{{\gamma _{+}}}{{\gamma _{-}}} $ is high

D) The coordination number of $ N{{a}^{+}} $ ion in $ NaCl $ is 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

A crystal system is hexagonal if its unit cell having $ a=b\ne c $ axial ratio and $ \alpha =\beta =90{}^\circ , $

$ \gamma =120{}^\circ $ axial angles.
