1.	Give an example of an ionic compound which shows frenkel defect
Answer» AGCL is ONE good example of a Frenkel defect in ionic solids. Frenkel DEFECTS are the defects in which the ions leave their positions and occupy interstitial sites. This be explained in the case of Agcl by the following - -A difference exists between the sizes of Ag and Cl atoms -So, Ag atom LEAVES its positions and OCCUPIES interstitial sites.

AGCL is ONE good example of a Frenkel defect in ionic solids.

Frenkel DEFECTS are the defects in which the ions leave their positions and occupy interstitial sites.

This be explained in the case of Agcl by the following -

-A difference exists between the sizes of Ag and Cl atoms

-So, Ag atom LEAVES its positions and OCCUPIES interstitial sites.
