1.What do you call an atom that has more protons than electrons?
    A.a molecule
    B an isotope
    C.an anion
    D.a cation.




Answer:-a cation
Explane:-If an atom has more protons than electrons, it has a net positive charge. This is a cation, which you can remember because the "t" in cation resembles a "+" sign for positive.

2.A drop of food coloring spreading out in a cup of water is an example of which transport process?
  A.Diffusion
    B.Osmosis
    C.Vapor Pressure
    D.Effusion

  
Answer:-Diffusion
Explane:-Food coloring dispersing in water is an example of diffusion. Osmosis involves water, but there has to be a semipermeable membrane, too. 

3.A mole contains Avogadro's number of items. What is Avogadro's number?


A.6023
B.6.023 x 10^23
C.6.02 x 10^-23
D.3 x 10^8

Answer:-6.023x10^23
Explane:-Avogadro's number is huge! The reason chemists use 6.02 x 10^23 to define a unit is to avoid having to work with crazy-large numbers.

Structures of AX,AX2 and ABX3 type compounds

The simple structures come from the arrangement of the anions (though sometimes the cations) in the positions of the spheres in the fcc or hcp lattices, and the cations go into some or all of the octahedral and tetrahedral holes within the lattices. Structures based on face centered cubic lattices The Rock Salt structure This the structure adopted by  Sodium Chloride , NaCl. It is based on the fcc array of the large chloride anions, and the sodium cations occupy all the octahedral holes in the fcc  lattice . However, it could also be seen as an fcc array of sodium ions, with the anions in all the octahedral holes. Each ion is octahedrally coordinated by six counterions, and so this structure has so-called  (6,6)-coordination , where the first number refers to the coordination of the  cation  and the second to the  anion . The structure beyond the first coordination sphere can also be visualized. The Rock Salt, or NaCl, structure The sodium c...

Solid state basic question and explanation

1.Three of the most common states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases. A liquid has: A.a defined volume, but not a defined shape B.a definite shape, but no defined volume C.a definite volume and shape D.no defined volume or shape Answer :-A defined volume,but not a defined shape Explane :-A liquid takes the shape of its container (no defined shape), but has a fairly constant volume (at least compared to a gas). The state of matter of a substances is due to the kinetic energy of its components. With enough energy, atoms and molecules are less strongly bound to each other.

Miller planes

-
Image
Planes in a crystal are described by notations called Miller indices  Miller indices of a plane, indicated by h k l, are given by the reciprocal of the intercepts of the plane on the three axes.  The plane, which intersects X axis at 1 (one lattice parameter) and is parallel to Y and Z axes, has Miller indices h = 1/1 = 1, k = 1/ = 0, l = 1/ = 0. It is written as (hkl) = (100).  Crystal Planes To find the Miller Indices of a plane, follow these steps:  Determine the intercepts of the plane along the crystal axes  Take the reciprocals  Clear fractions  Reduce to lowest terms and enclose in brackets () Ex: Intercepts on a, b, c : ¾, ½, ¼ (h k l) = (4/3, 2, 4) = (2 3 6) Planes can also have negative intercept e.g. 1, -1/2, 1 h k l = 1 -2 1. This is denoted as ( ) 121  Family of planes {hkl}  Planes having similar indices are equivalent, e.g. faces of the cube (100), (010) and (001). This is termed as a family of planes and...
