Problem

An ionic compound ABAB has a rock salt structure with A:B=1:1A:B = 1:1 . The formula mass of ABAB is 6.023 y amu and the closest A−BA-B distance is y1/2y^{1/2} nm. (a) Calculate the density of lattice. (b) If the observed density of lattice is found to be 20 kg m−320 \text{ kg m}^{-3} , then predict the type of defect. (IIT 2004)
