Question

Examine the given defective crystal.

$\begin{matrix} X^{+} & Y^{-} & X^{+} & Y^{-} & X^{+} Y^{-} & O & Y^{-} & X^{+} & Y^{-} X^{+} & Y^{-} & X^{+} & O & X^{+} Y^{-} & X^{+} & Y^{-} & X^{+} & Y^{-} \end{matrix}$

Answer the following questions :

(i) Is the above defect stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric?
(ii) Write the term used for this type of defect. Give an example of the compound which shows this type of defect?
(iii) How does this defect affect the density of the crystal?

Open in App

Solution

(i) Stoichiometric

(ii) Schottky defects, e.g, $N a C l, C s C l$

(iii) The presence of a large number of schottky defects in a crystal will lower its density markedly.
