Cadmium oxide crystallizes in an NaCl type of crystal lattice The compound is however usually non stoichiometric with approximate formula CdO0 95 The defect arising due to some cationic positions are occupied by neutral Cd atom instead of Cd ions and equivalent numbers of anion sites are vacant a What percentage of anion sites are vacant b If the edge length of the unit cell is 470 pm what would be the density of perfect solid c What is the density of non stoichiometric solid
