Solid State Question 269

Question: What type of crystal defect is indicated in the diagram below [AIEEE 2004] $ N{{a}^{+}}C{{l}^{-}}N{{a}^{+}}C{{l}^{-}}N{{a}^{+}}C{{l}^{-}} $ $ C{{l}^{-}} $ ยจ $ C{{l}^{-}} $ $ N{{a}^{+}} $ ยจ $ N{{a}^{+}} $ $ N{{a}^{+}} $ $ C{{l}^{-}} $ ยจ $ C{{l}^{-}} $ $ N{{a}^{+}} $ $ C{{l}^{-}} $ $ C{{l}^{-}} $ $ N{{a}^{+}} $ $ C{{l}^{-}} $ $ N{{a}^{+}} $ ยจ $ N{{a}^{+}} $

Options:

A) Interstitial defect

B) Schottky defect

C) Frenkel defect

D) Frenkel and Schottky defects

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

In this diagram, equal number of cations $ (N{{a}^{+}}) $ and anions $ (C{{l}^{-}}) $ are missing, so it, shows schottky defect.
