A metal crystallizes in two cubic phases, face centred cubic (fcc) and body centred cubic (bcc) whose unit cell length are 3.5 and 3.0 Å respectively. Calculate the ratio of density of fcc and bcc.
(1) 2.123
(2) 1.259
(3) 5.124
(4) 3.134
Assertion : The stability of a crystal gets reflected in its melting point.
Reason : The stability of a crystal depends upon the strength of the interparticle attractive force. The melting point of a solid depends on the strength of the attractive force acting between the constitutent particles.
Assertion : The melting point decreases in the order.
Water > ethyl alcohol > diethylether > methane
Reason : The strength of the intermolecular forces between these molecules follow the order
Water > ethyl alcohol > diethylether > methane
