XII. For the first time, you were introduced to the subject of chemistry discipline in std XI. Chemistry is very vast subject that covers many aspects of our everyday experience. This textbook aims to create awareness and to understand certain essential aspects by the state curriculum framework (NCF) which was formulated in 2005, followed by the national curriculum framework (SCF) in 2010. Based on these two frameworks, reconstruction of the curriculum and prepartion of a revised syllabus has been done and designed now. Three major branches of chemistry, namely organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry are presented in separate units in this book. Care is taken to have an integrated approach in deliberation of their contents. Chemistry is highly applied subject. In the unit "applied chemistry" along with the application of chemistry in life science and materials in everyday life, the upcoming applied branches, namely nanochemistry and green chemistry are also introduced. You can learn basic principles, understand facts and put them into practice by learning in the classroom and laboratory. The textbook is presented in a simple language with relevant diagrams, graphs, tables, photographs. This will help you to understand various terminology, concepts with more clarity. All the illustrations are in colour form. The new syllabus focuses on the basic principles, concepts, laws based on precise observations, their applications in everyday life and ability to solve different types of problems. The general teaching - learing objectives of the revised syllabus are further determined on the basis of the ‘Principle of constructivism’ i.e. self learning. The curriculum and syllabus is designed to make the students to think independently. The students are encouraged to read, study more through the additional information given in the colored boxes. Activities have been introduced in each chapter. These activities will help to understand the content knowledge on your own efforts. QR code has been introduced for gaining the additional information, abstracts of chapters and practice questions/ activities. The efforts taken to prepare the text book will help the students think about more than just the content of the chemical concepts. Teachers, parents as well as the aspiring condidates preparing for the competitive examinations will be benefited. We look forward to a positive response from the teachers and students. Our best wishes to all !

SOLID STATE Can you recall ? Try this... What are the three most common states of matter? How does solid state differ from the other two states ? (Answer with reference to volume, shape, effect of temperature and pressure on these and the motion of constituent particles and interparticle forces.) 1.1 Introduction : As studied earlier, the solid state of matter is characterised by strong Observe the above figure carefully. interparticle forces of attraction.

Ice, salts such as NaCl, metals such as sodium, gold, copper and materials such as diamond, graphite, ceramics are examples of crystalline solids. 1  Glass, plastic, rubber, tar, and metallic glass Do you know ?

Single grannule of a polycrystalline solid is made of many single crystals or crystallites packed together with different orientations. Single crystals are difficult to obtain. Diamond is an example of naturally formed single crystal. 1.2.3 Isomorphism and polymorphism Similarity or dissimilarity in crystal structure of different solids is described as isomorphism and polymorphism. i. Isomorphism : Two or more substances having the same crystal structure are said to be 1.2.2 Amorphous solids : The particles of isomorphous.

Characteristics of covalent network crystals Many crystalline forms of are as follows : silica (SiO2) are found in nature. Three of them are α-quartz, b-quartz and i. The constituent particles in covalent cristobalite network solids are atoms. ii. The atoms in these crystals are linked by a continous system of covalent bonds. The result is a rigid three dimensional network that forms a giant molecule. The entire crystal is a single molecule. iii. As a result of rigid and strongly bonded cristobalite α-quartz structure, covalent network crystals are very hard. In fact they are the hardest and most incompressible of all the materials. These crystals have high melting and boiling points. iv. The electrons are localised in covalent b-quartz bonds and hence are not mobile. As a result, covalent solids are poor conductors 1.3 Classification of crystalline solids : of heat and electricity. Crystalline solids are further classified into For example : diamond, quartz (SiO2), boron four categories : ionic solids, covalent network nitride, carborandum are covalent network solids, molecular solids and metallic solids. solids. 1.3.1 Ionic crystals : Ionic crystals have the following characteristics : Do you know ? i.

This basic pattern is repeated in three dimensions to generate the entire crystal.

These 14 lattices, which describe the crystal structure, are called Bravais lattices. sc bcc fcc Fourteen Bravais lattices are divided into seven crystal systems. The possible combinations of lattice point spacings (a, b Fig. 1.2 : Cubic unit cell and c) along three axes and the angles (∝, β and γ) between these axes give rise to seven 1.5.1 Number of particles in cubic unit cells crystal systems.

Stacking of two hexagonal close packed layers : To generate a close packed three dimensional structure, hexagonal close packed layers are arranged in a particular manner. In doing so, spheres of the second layer are placed in the depression of the first layer (Fig. 1.5). If the first layer is labelled as 'A' layer, the second layer is labelled as 'B' layer because the two layers are aligned differently.

Such irregularities in the a solid, a particle is missing from its regular arrangement of constituent particles of a solid site in the crystal lattice. The missing particle crystal are called defects or imperfections. creates a vacancy in the lattice structure. Thus, Defects are created during the process some of the lattice sites are vacant because of of crystallization. The imperfections are more missing particles as shown in Fig. 1.12. The if the crystallization occurs at a faster rate. It crystal is, then, said to have a vacancy defect. means that the defects can be minimized by The vacancy defect can also be developed carrying out crystallization at a slower rate. when the substance is heated. In fact ideal crystals with no imperfections are possible only at the absolute zero of temperature. Above this temperature no crystalline materials are 100 % pure. They contain defects. Whatever be the nature of a crystal defect, electrical neutrality of the solid is maintained. It is important to note that sometimes defects are to be intentionally created for manipulating the desired properties in Fig. 1.12 : Vacancy defect crystalline solids. 16  Due to the absence of particles, the It is interesting to note that in this second mass of the substance decreases. However, case, because of the displacement of a particle a the volume remains unchanged. As a result the vacancy defect is created at its original regular density of the substance decreases. lattice site. At the same time interstitial defect ii.

We can, therefore, say that in this defect there is a combination of Interstitial sites in a crystal are the vacancy defect and self interstitial defect. spaces or voids in between the particles at lattice points. When some particles of a This defect preserves the density of the crystalline elemental solid occupy interstitial substance because there is neither loss nor sites in the crystal structure, it is called self gain in mass of a substance. interstitial defect. iii. Schottky defect : In an ionic solid, equal This defect occurs in the following two ways : number of cations and anions are missing from their regular positions in the crystal Firstly, an extra particle occupies an empty lattice creating vacancies as shown in Fig. interstitial space in the crystal structure as 1.15.

Such a paired cation- Secondly, in an elemental solid a particle anion vacancy defect is a Schottky defect. gets shifted from its original lattice point and Conditions for the formation of Schottky occupies an interstitial space in the crystal as defect shown in the Fig. 1.14. i. Schottky defect is found in ionic compounds with the following characteristics : High degree of ionic character. High coordination number of anion Small difference between size of cation and anion. The ratio rcation/ranion is not far below unity.

Consequences of Frenkel defect This defect is found in ionic crystals such as NaCl, AgBr and KCl. As no ions are missing from the crystal lattice as a whole, the density of solid and iv. Frenkel defect : Frenkel defect arises when its chemical properties remain unchanged. an ion of an ionic compound is missing from its regular lattice site and occupies interstitial The crystal as a whole remains electrically position between lattice points as shown in neutral because the equal numbers of Fig. 1.16. cations and anions are present. The cations are usually smaller than This defect is found in ionic crystals like ZnS, anions. It is, therfore, more common to find AgCl, AgBr, AgI, CaF2. the cations occupying interstitial sites. It is b. Impurity defect : Impurity defect arises easier for the smaller cations to accomodate when foreign atoms, that is, atoms different the interstitial spaces. from the host atoms, are present in the crystal lattice. There are two kinds of impurity defects : Substitutional and interstitial impurity defects. i. Substitutional impurity defect : In this defect, the foreign atoms are found at the lattice sites in place of host atoms. The regular atoms are displaced from their lattice sites by impurity atoms. For example : Fig. 1.16 : Frenkel defect Solid solutions of metals (alloys) : Brass is an alloy of Cu and Zn. In brass, host Do you know ? Cu atoms are replaced by impurity of Zn Frenkel defect is not found in atoms. The Zn atoms occupy regular sites pure alkali metal halides because of Cu atoms as shown in Fig. 1.17. cations of allkali metals due to large size cannot occupy interstitial space. It is important to note that the smaller cation is displaced from its normal site to an interstitial space. It, therefore, creates a vacancy defect at its original position and interstitial defect at its new location in the same crystal. Frenkel defect can be regarded as the combination of vacancy defect and interstitial defect. Fig. 1.17 : Brass 18  Vacancy through aliovalent impurity : c. Nonstoichiometric defects : Vacancies are created by the addition Nonstoichiometric defect arises when of impurities of aliovalent ions (that is, ions the ratio of number of atoms of one kind to with oxidation state (o.s.) different from that that of other kind or the ratio of number of of host ions) to an ionic solid. cations to anions becomes different from that indicated by its chemical formula. In short, stoichiometry of the compound is changed. It is important to note that the change in stoichiometry does not cause any change in the crystal structure. There are two types of nonstoichiometric defects i. Metal deficiency defect : This defect is possible only in compounds of metals that Fig. 1.18 : Vacancy through aliovalent ion show variable oxidation states. Suppose that a small amount of SrCl2 impurity is added to NaCl during its In some crystals, positive metal ions crystallization.

One of the vacant lattice sites created by For example, in the compound NiO removal of two Na⊕ ions is occupied by one one Ni ion is missing creating a vacnacy at 2⊕ Sr2⊕ ion. The other site of Na⊕ ion remains its lattice site. The deficiency of two positive vacant as shown in Fig. 1.18. charges is made up by the presence of two Ni3⊕ ions at the other lattice sites of Ni2⊕ ions as ii. Interstitial impurity defect : In this defect, shown in Fig. 1.20. The composition of NiO the impurity atoms occupy interstitial spaces then becomes Ni0.97O1.0 of lattice structure. For example in steel, Fe atoms occupy normal lattice sites. The carbon atoms are present at interstitial spaces, as shown in Fig. 1.19. Fig. 1.20 : Nonstoichiometric Ni0.97O1.0 ii. Metal excess defect : There are two types of metal excess defects. A neutral atom or an extra positive ion occupies interstitial position : ZnO Fig. 1.19 : Stainless steel presents two ways of metal excess defect. In the first case in ZnO lattice one neutral 19  Zn atom is present in the interstitial space Cl ions diffuse to the crystal surface as shown in Fig. 1.21(a) creating vacancies at their regular sites.
