How you distinguish between the following pairs of terms:

(i) Hexagonal close-packing and cubic close-packing?
Ans: A 2-d hexagonal close-packing contains two types of triangular voids (a and b) as shown in figure 1. Let us call this 2-D structure as layer A. Now, particles are kept in the voids present in layer A (it can be easily observed from figures 2 and 3 that only one of the voids will be occupied in the process, i.e., either a or b). Let us call the particles or spheres present in the voids of layer A as layer B. Now, two types of voids are present in layer B (c and d ). Unlike the voids present in layer A_{4}
Leteriftid
Ans: The given solids are classified as follows:
– Ionic (ii) Ammonium phosphate \left(\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right)_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4},(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{LiBr}
– Metallic (viii) Brass, (ix) Rb
– Molecular Tetra phosphoursdecoxide \left(\mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{10}\right),(\mathrm{iv}) \mathrm{I}_{2}(\mathrm{v}) \mathrm{P}_{4}
– Covalent (network) (iii) SiC, (vii) Graphite, (xi) Si
– Amorphous (vi) Plastic.
