Why the defectsof the crystalline solids are called thermodynamic defects? |
| Answer» The constituent particles in a crystal are in perfect order at `0 K`. With the increase of temperature, the chance that a lattice site may be unoccupied by an ion increases. Since the number of defects increases with temperature, the defects are called thermodynamic defect. | |
