Question

The correct statement regarding defect in crystalline solid is:

• A. Frenkel defect change the density of solid
• B. Frenkel defect is shown by ionic substance in which there is a small difference in size of ions
• C. $AgBr$ shows both Frenkel and Schottky defect
• D. Schottky defect does not changes the density of solid

Answer 1

The correct option is C $AgBr$ shows both Frenkel and Schottky defect

(a) Frenkel defect does not change the density of the solid.
(b) Frenkel defect is shown by ionic substance in which there is a large difference in the size of ions, for example, $ZnS$.
(c) $AgBr$ shows both Frenkel and Schottky defect.
(d) Schottky defect decreases the density of the substance.
