Passage / Comprehension
Cadmium oxide crystallizes in an NaCl-type structure. The compound is, however, non-stoichiometric with the formula CdO₀.₉₅. The defect arises due to some cationic positions being occupied by neutral Cd atoms in place of Cd²⁺ ions, and an equivalent number of anion sites are vacant. (Cd = 112, )
What percent of anion sites are vacant?
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
For every 100 anion sites, 5 are vacant. Thus, 5% of anion sites are vacant.
