Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
If some solute is added to a solvent, the boiling point of solution increases. This is known as elevation in baiting point.
$\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}=\text{K}_\text{b}\text{m}$ where, $K_b =$ Molal elevation constant,
$\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}\propto\text{m}$
Hence, it is a colligative property,

where, $M =$ Molar mass of solvent,
$\Delta\text{vap}$ $H = $Enthalpy of vaporisation,
Molar mass can also be calculated using elevation in boiling point.
$\text{M}_\text{B}=\frac{\text{K}_\text{B}\times\text{W}_\text{B}\times1000}{\Delta\text{T}_\text{b}\times\text{W}_\text{A}}$

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
Werner, a Swiss chemist in $1892$ prepared and characterised a large number of coordination compounds and studied their physical and chemical behaviour. He proposed that, in coordination compounds, metals possess two types of valencies, viz. primary valencies, which are normally ionisable and secondary valencies which are non-ionisable. ln a series of compounds of cobalt (III) chloride with ammonia, it was found that some of the chloride ions could be precipitated as $AgCl$ on adding excess of $AgNO_3$ solution in cold, but some remained in solution. The number ofions furnished by a complex in a solution can be determined by precipitation reactions. The measurement of molar conductance of solutions of coordination compounds helps to estimate the number of ions furnished by the compound in solution.

The idealized ionic solid consists of two interpenetrating lattices of oppositely-charged point charges that are held in place by a balance of coulombic force of long range. But real ions occupy space, no such "perfect" ionic solid exists in nature. Chemists usually apply the term "ionic solid" to binary compounds of the metallic elements of groups $1 - 2$ with one of the halogen elements or oxygen. The most well known ionic solid is sodium chloride, also known by its geological names as rock-salt or halite. Structurally, each ion in sodium chloride is surrounded and held in tension by six neighbouring ions of opposite charge; this is known as $(6, 6)$ coordination. The resulting crystal lattice is of a type known as simple cubic. There are many other fundamental ionic structures (not all cubic) and these are: Zinc blende structure $(ZnS) $: having ccp arrangement of $S^2-$ and $Zn^{2+}$ in alternate tetrahedral voids; Wurtzite structure $(ZnS)$ having hcp arrangement of $S^2-$ and $Zn^{2+}$ in alternate tetrahedral voids; Fluorite structure $(CaF2)$ having ccp arrangement of $Ca^{2+}$ and$ F^-$ in all tetrahedral voids Antifluorite structure $(Na_2O)$ having ccp arrangement of $O^{2-}$ and $Na^+$ in all tetrahedral voids.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
In an ideal crystal, there must be regular repeating arrangement of the constituting particles and its entropy must be zero at absolute zero temperature. However, it is impossible to obtain an ideal crystal, and it suffers from certain defects called imperfections. In pure crystal, these defects arises either due to disorder or dislocation of the constituting particles from their normal positions or due to the movement of the particles even at absolute zero temperature. Such defects increase with rise in temperature. In addition to this, certain defects arise due to the presence of some impurities. Such defects not only modify the existing properties of the crystalline solids, but also impart certain new characteristics to them.
