A mineral having the formula $$A{B_2}$$ crystallizes in $$ccp$$ lattice with $$A$$ atoms occupying the lattice points. Pick out the correct statement of the following
A
100% occupancy of tetrahedral voids, $$C.N$$ of $$B = 4$$
B
100% occupancy of octahedral voids, $$C.N$$ of $$B = 4$$
C
50% occupancy of tetrahedral voids, $$C.N$$ of $$A = 4$$
D
100% occupancy of octahedral voids, $$C.N$$ of $$A = 4$$
Answer :
100% occupancy of tetrahedral voids, $$C.N$$ of $$B = 4$$
Number of $$A$$ cations per unit cell = 4
Number of $$B$$ anions per unit cell must be = 2 × 4 = 8
Number of tetrahedral voids per unit cell = 2 × 4 = 8
Number of octahedral voids per unit all = 1 × 4 = 4.
Hence, occupancy of tetrahedral voids = 100%

Doping of silicon $$(Si)$$ with boron $$(B)$$ leads to :
In a $$p$$ - type semiconductor, trivalent impurity from the III group elements is added as the impurity. trivalent impurities like Aluminium, Indium and Gallium are added to the intrinsic semiconductor. The Trivalent impurities added provides extra holes known as the acceptor atom. The majority carries in a $$p$$ - type semiconductor are holes.
In an $$n$$ - type semiconductor, pentavalent impurity from the V group is added to the pure semiconductor . Examples of pentavalent impurities are Arsenic, Antimony, Bismuth etc. The pentavalent impurities provide extra electrons and are termed as donor atoms. Electrons are the majority charge carries in $$n$$ - type semiconductors.

Which of the following statements is true about semiconductors ?
A
Impurity of lower group creates $$n$$ - type semiconductors.
B
Impurity of higher group creates $$p$$ - type semiconductors.
C
Extrinsic semiconductors are formed by doping impurity.
D
Intrinsic semiconductors become conductors when temperature is raised.
Answer :
Intrinsic semiconductors become conductors when temperature is raised.

A crystalline structure has radius ratio $$\left( {\frac{{{r_ + }}}{{{r_ - }}}} \right)$$ in the range of 0.225 - 0.414. The coordination number and arrangement of anions around the cations are
Out of the given substances, only $$Li$$ has high electrical and thermal conductivity as $$Li$$ is a metallic solid.

A compound is formed by two elements $$Y$$ and $$Z.$$ The element $$Z$$ forms $$ccp$$ and atoms $$Y$$ occupy $$\frac{1}{3}rd$$ of tetrahedral voids. The formula of the compound is
Suppose no. of atoms of $$Z = a$$
No. of tetrahedral voids $$ = 2a$$
No. of atoms of $$Y = \frac{1}{3} \times 2a = \frac{{2a}}{3}$$
Ratio of atoms of $$Y$$ and $$Z = \frac{{2a}}{3}:a = 2:3$$
Hence, the formula of the compound $$ = {Y_2}{Z_3}$$
