Note: All answers are calculated step-by-step using standard formulas and constants. The solutions are rounded to the nearest integer as required for integer-type questions.
Q. No. Topic/Concept Key Formula/Method Answer Unit/Format
1 Packing Efficiency in FCC For FCC: a = 2√2 × r
Packing efficiency = (4 × (4/3)πr³) / a³ × 100
4 atoms per FCC unit cell
74 Percentage (%)
2 BCC Density Calculation Density = (Z × M) / (NA × a³)
M = (ρ × NA × a³) / Z
Z = 2 for BCC structure
64 g/mol
3 Voids in CCP Structure In CCP: Tetrahedral voids = 2N
Original close-packed spheres = 875
Removed spheres were from voids, not positions
1750 Number of voids
4 Rock Salt Structure Space occupied = (Vions / Vunit cell) × 100
4 cations + 4 anions per unit cell
a = 2(r+ + r-)
65 Percentage (%)
5 Fluorite Structure M = (ρ × NA × a³) / Z
Z = 4 for fluorite (CaF2 type)
4 formula units per unit cell
80 g/mol
6 HCP Unit Cell Volume a = 2r, c = 1.633a
V = (3√3/2) × a² × c
Answer as X in X × 105 pm³
647 × 105 pm³
7 Frenkel Defects Defect % = (1015 / 6.022×1020) × 100
= 0.000166% = 0.166 × 10-3
Rounded to nearest integer × 10-3
0 × 10-3 %
8 Spinel Structure A²⁺: (1/8) × 64 tetrahedral = 8
B³⁺: (1/2) × 32 octahedral = 16
Total cations = 8 + 16 = 24
24 Number of cations
9 Semiconductor Doping Si atoms/cm³ = (ρ × NA) / M
B atoms = Si atoms × 10-6
Answer as X in X × 1016
5 × 1016 atoms/cm³
10 Anti-fluorite Structure Distance = (√3/4) × a
= (√3/4) × 640 pm
K⁺ to nearest O²⁻ distance
277 pm
Important: These solutions cover key concepts from NCERT Class XII Solid State chapter including crystal systems, packing arrangements, defects, and ionic structures. Each calculation uses standard crystallographic principles and mathematical relationships.
