NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020The Solid State

Solution:

AgBr show both Frenkel and Schottky defect. KBr and CsCl show Schottky defect while ZnS shows Frenkel defect.
Highly ionic solids with more coordination number show Schottky defect while Less ionic solids with low coordination number show Frenkel defect.
