Explain the terms with suitable example. Schottky defect |
|
Answer» Schottky defect – It arises when one cation and one anion are missing from the lattice. It causes valancies at the place of ions. It is a common defect in ionic compounds of high co-ordination number where both cations and anions are of the same size i.e., KCl, NaCl etc. Due to this defect density of crystal decreases and it begins to conduct electricity to a smaller extent. |
