प्रश्न
Explain solid solutions of metals and vacancy through aliovalent cations.
उत्तर
- Solid solutions of metals (alloys):
Brass
Brass is an alloy of Cu and Zn. In brass, host Cu atoms are replaced by impurity of Zn atoms. The Zn atoms occupy regular sites of Cu atoms as shown in the figure. - Formation of vacancy through aliovalent impurity:
Vacancies are created by the addition of impurities of aliovalent ions (that is, ions with oxidation state different from that of host ions) to an ionic solid.
e.g. Consider a small amount of SrCl2 impurity added to NaCl during its crystallization. The added Sr2+ ions (O.S. = +2) occupy some of the regular sites of Na+ host ions (O.S. = +1). In order to maintain electrical neutrality, every Sr2+ ion removes two Na+ ions. One of the vacant lattice sites created by removal of two Na+ ions is occupied by one Sr2+ ion. The other site of Na+ ion remains vacant as shown in the figure.
