2. Ionic crystals are hard and brittle.
3. Ionic crystals are insulators in the solid state.
4. Ionic solids are good conductors when dissolved in water.
5. Ionic crystals are soluble in water and also in other polar solvents.
Schottky defect
1. Schottky defect is caused if some of the lattice points are unoccupied. The points which are
unoccupied are called lattice vacancies.
2. The number of missing positive and negative ions is the same and thus, the crystal remains neutral.
3. Schottky defect appears generally in ionic crystals in which the positive and negative ions do not
differ much in size.
4. Example: NaCl
1. Frenkel defect arises when an ion occupies an interstitial position between the lattice points.
2. This defect occurs generally in ionic crystals in which the anion is much larger in size than the
cation.
3. The crystal remains neutral since the number of positive ions is the same as the number of negative
ions.

Temperature
The super conducting transition temperature Tc of a material is defined as a critical temperature at
which the resistivity of the material is suddenly changed to zero. Thus at that temperature a material is
changed from normal material to superconductor.
At the extremely low temperatures, vibration of the nuclei of certain atoms slows down so much and
they synchronise with the passing waves of electrons in a flow of electric current. When this happens,
resistance to electric current disappears.
Applications of superconductors
1. It is a basis of new generation of energy saving power systems. Super conducting generators are
smaller in size and weight when we compare with conventional generators.
These generators consume very low energy and so we can save more energy.
2. High efficiency ore separating machines may be built using superconducting magnets.
3. Superconducting solenoids are used in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging equipment which is a
whole body scan equipment.

i) Molecular Crystals
The lattice points in molecular crystals consist of molecules which do not carry any charge.
The forces binding the molecules together are of two types
i) Dipole-dipole interaction and ii) Vanderwaals forces.
Dipole-dipole forces occur in solids which consists of polar molecules e.g., ice.
The Vanderwaals forces are more general and occur in all kinds of molecular solids.

dextro rotatory and the other chiral atom is laevo rotatory. Both chiral carbons rotate the plane

2. Meso tartaric acid has symmetric plane, which divides the molecule into two equal halves. One half
of the molecule looks like the mirror image of the other half. The rotation of plane polarized light
towards clockwise direction by one half of the molecule is exactly cancelled by equal rotation
towards anticlockwise direction by the other half. So, meso tartaric acid is optically inactive due to
internal compensation.
3. Meso tartaric acid has configuration which is super-imposable on its mirror image and hence the

4. Cis isomer
Similar groups lie on the same side
Since similar groups are nearer to each other, cis isomer experiences more Vanderwaals
repulsion and steric hindrance. So, cis isomer is less stable.
5. Trans isomer
Similar groups lie on the opposite sides
Since similar groups are diagonally opposite to each other, trans isomer does not
experience steric interaction. So, trans isomer is more stable.
6. Cis and trans isomers do not differ much in chemical properties. They differ in physical
properties like boiling point, melting point, crystal structure and solubility.
7. At high temperature, trans isomer can be converted into cis isomer and vice-versa. Breaking of
carbon-carbon - bond and its reformation is responsible for this interconversion.

3. In d-tartaric acid, each of the two asymmetric carbon atoms rotate the plane of the polarized light

4. In l-tartaric acid, each of the two asymmetric carbon atoms rotate the plane of the polarized light
towards left (anticlockwise) leading to overall laevo rotation. So, l-tartaric acid is optically active.
5. d and l tartaric acids have the same magnitude of optical rotation but they differ only in the sign of
optical rotation.
6. Meso tartaric acid contains two chiral carbon atoms but it is optically inactive. One chiral atom is
dextro rotatory and the other chiral atom is laevo rotatory. Both chiral carbons rotate the plane

7. When equal amounts of d-tartaric acid and l-tartaric acid are mixed one gets a racemic mixture and
this process is called racemisation. A racemic mixture becomes optically inactive. Because, in this
mixture rotation towards clockwise direction by the dextro isomers is compensated by the rotation
towards the anticlockwise direction by the laevo isomers. The optical inactivity of a racemic mixture
is said to be due to external compensation

1. What is the pH of a solution containing 0.5 M propionic acid and 0.5 M sodium
propionate? The Ka of propionic acid is 1.34 105. [Mar-2006, June-2010, Mar-2014]
[salt]
pH = pKa + log
[acid]
[salt]
= log Ka + log
[acid]
0.5
= log (1.34 105) + log
0.5
= 5 log 1.34 + log 1

= 4.8729
.
2. Find the pH of a buffer solution containing 0.20 mole per litre sodium acetate and 0.15 mole per
litre acetic acid. Ka for acetic acid is 1.8 105.

3. Find the pH of a buffer solution containing 0.30 mole per litre of CH 3COONa and 0.15 mole per
litre of CH3COOH. Ka for acetic acid is 1.8 105. [Sep-2008]
[salt]
pH = pKa + log
[acid]
[salt]

[acid]
0.30
= log (1.8 105) + log
0.15
