CASE1: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions 53-55
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
In an ideal crystal, there must be regular repeating arrangement of the constituting particles and its entropy
must be zero at absolute zero temperature. However, it is impossible to obtain an ideal crystal and it
suffers from certain defects called imperfections. In pure crystal, these defects arises either due to disorder

8
or dislocation of the constituting particles from the normal positions or due to the movement of the
particles even at absolute zero temperature. Such defects increase with rise in temperature. In addition to
these certain defects arise due to the presence of some impurities. Such defects not only modify the
existing properties of the crystalline solids but also impart certain new characteristics to them.

Answer the following MCQs by choosing the most appropriate options:

have
(a) Cationic vacancies equal to number of Cd2+ ions incorporated.
(b) Cationic vacancies equal to double the number of Cd2+ ions.
(c) Anionic vacancies.
(d) Neither cationic nor anionic vacancies.
