Question 21 Mark
ZnO becomes yellow on heating. Why?
Answer
Due to Frenkal defect, ZnO loses its oxygen on heating and turns yellow in colour.
$ ZnO_{(s)} \xrightarrow{Heat} Zn^{2+} + \frac{1}{2}O_{2} + 2e^{-} $

Question 31 Mark
An element crystallizes in fcc lattice with a cell edge of 300 pm. The density of the element is 10.8 g $ cm^{-3} $. Calculate the number in 108 g of the element.
Answer
We know $d=\frac{ ZM }{a^3 N}$ $\left[\begin{array}{l}m=\text { mass of atom } \\ N=\text { number of atom }\end{array}\right]$
$\therefore \quad N =\frac{108 \times 4}{10.8 \times 27 \times 10^{-24}}$
$=1.48 \times 10^{24}$ atoms

Question 41 Mark
Analysis shows that FeO has a non-stoichiometric composition with formula $ Fe_{0.95}O $. Give reason.
Answer
It shows metal deficiency defect. In the crystals of FeO, some of $ Fe^{2+} $ cations are replaced by $ Fe^{3+} $ ions. Eventually there would be less amount of metal as compared to stoichiometric composition.

Question 81 Mark
How is ferromagnetism different from paramagnetism?
Answer
Ferromagnetic substances are strongly attracted by the magnetic field and they can be converted into permanent magnet. Paramagnetic substances are weakly attracted by the magnet. They cannot be converted into permanent magnet.
