Which of the following is an Isomorph of Copper
Correct answer: C. Ag
- A. Zn
- B. Cd
- C. Ag
- D. Mn
Explanation
An isomorph is a compound or element that exhibits a similar crystal structure to another compound or element. In the case of copper (Cu), the isomorph is silver (Ag).Copper and silver are both transition metals and belong to the same group (Group 11) of the periodic table. They have similar electronic configurations and can form isomorphous alloys with each other. Isomorphous alloys are solid solutions in which the atoms of different elements occupy the same crystal lattice positions.

About Crystalline Solids
Crystalline solids contain particles arranged in a regular repeating lattice described by a unit cell. Their study includes coordination number, packing efficiency, density, anisotropy, cleavage, polymorphism and common crystal systems, along with ionic, molecular, covalent network and metallic crystals. Crystalline order differs from the random arrangement of amorphous solids.
