An element has bcc structure having unit cells 12.08×102312.08 \times {10^{23}}. The number of atoms in these cells is :
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
24.16×102324.16 \times {10^{23}}
Option B (24.16×102324.16 \times {10^{23}}) is correct because in a bcc structure, there are 2 atoms per unit cell. Therefore, the total number of atoms is twice the number of unit cells.

Assertion: Ferromagnetic compound is more attracted in magnetic field.

Reason: Because all electron are aligned in same direction.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Option C is correct. While the assertion that ferromagnetic compounds are strongly attracted to magnetic fields is true, the reason that all electrons are aligned in the same direction is an oversimplification. Ferromagnetism arises from the spontaneous alignment of magnetic domains, not necessarily all individual electrons.

C some of which replace the B atoms
and remaining occupy few interstitial
voids without affecting the dimensions of
cubic crystal lattice. If density of crystal
before doping is 4.8 gm/millilitre and
density after doping is 4.795 gm /ml then
