Question:

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R

Assertion (A) : \(ZnO\) becomes yellow when it is heated.

Reason (R) : Metal excess defect arises due to excess of \(Zn^{2+}\) ions which move to interstitial sites and the electron moves to neighbouring interstitial sites.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Updated On: Apr 6, 2023
  • If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
  • If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
  • If assertion is true but reason is false

Solid State

Solids are substances that are featured by a definite shape, volume, and high density. In the solid-state, the composed particles are arranged in several manners. Solid-state, in simple terms, means "no moving parts." Thus solid-state electronic devices are the ones inclusive of solid components that don’t change their position. Solid is a state of matter where the composed particles are arranged close to each other. The composed particles can be either atoms, molecules, or ions.

Types of Solids:

Based on the nature of the order that is present in the arrangement of their constituent particles solids can be divided into two types;

  • Amorphous solids behave the same as super cool liquids due to the arrangement of constituent particles in short-range order. They are isotropic and have a broad melting point (range is about greater than 5°C).
  • Crystalline solids have a fixed shape and the constituent particles are arranged in a long-range order.
