Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct? A. Ferromagnetic substances are permanently magnetised. B. AgBr shows both Schottky and Frenkel defects. C. One tetrahedral voids per atom is present in HCP structure.

Correct answer: D. A & B

  • A. A & C
  • B. A, B & C
  • C. B only
  • D. A & B

Explanation

In presence of an external magnetic field, ferromagnetic substances are strongly magnetized and even after the removal of magnetic field, they remain magnetized. Because of precipitation of both silver and bromide ion, AgBr shows Schottky defect and due to small size of silver ion, it occupies interstitial site hence it also shows frenkel defect. Thus, both (A) & (B) statements are correct. Statement C is incorrect as there are 12 tetrahedral voides per atom in HCP structure.

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.
