CBSE Class 12 Chemistry NCERT Exemplar Solutions: Chapter 1, Solid State

To help students access the accurate solutions to all NCERT Exemplar problems of class 12 Chemistry, our experts have solved all the questions in detail but simple language.

Here we are providing the NCERT Exemplar solutions for CBSE Class 12 Chemistry chapter 1, Solid State. All these solutions have been prepared by the subject experts and have been revised to bring the accurate study material for our students. These solutions have been collated in the form of PDF which students can download for free of cost and refer the same when required.

Few problems along with their solutions from this chapter are given follows:

Q. Which of the following is not a characteristic of a crystalline solid?

(a) Definite and characteristic heat of fusion

(b) Isotropic nature

(c) A regular periodically repeated pattern of arrangement of constituent particles in the entire crystal

(d) A true solid

Ans. (b) Isotropic nature

Crystalline solid is anisotropic in nature as this solid shows different physical properties such as electrical resistance, refractive index in different directions.

Q. A ferromagnetic substance becomes a permanent magnet when it is placed in a magnetic field because         

(a) all the domains get oriented in the direction of magnetic field

(b) all the domains get oriented in the direction opposite to the direction of magnetic field

(c) domains get oriented randomly

(d) domains are not affected by magnetic field

Ans. (a) all the domains get oriented in the direction of magnetic field

When a ferromagnetic substance is placed in a magnetic field it becomes a permanent magnet because all the domains get oriented in the direction of magnetic field even after removal of applied magnetic field.

Q. Which of the following statements are true about semiconductors?

(a) Silicon doped with electron rich impurity is a p -type semiconductor

(b) Silicon doped with an electron rich impurity is an n-type semiconductor

(c) Delocalised electrons increase the conductivity of doped silicon

(d) An electron vacancy increases the conductivity of n-type semiconductor

Ans. (b, c)

Silicon doped with an electron rich impurity is an n-type semiconductor. Conductivity of n-type semiconductor is due to presence of free electron delocalisation of electrons. This increases the conductivity of doped silicon due to increase in mobility of electrons.
