Question

A type of defect observed in stoichiometric compounds is Schottky defect. Schottky defect occur mainly in ionic compounds where (A) positive and negative ions are of different sizes (B) positive and negative ions are of same sizes (C) positive ions are small and negative ions are big (D) positive ions are big and negative ions are small

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The absence of equal number of cations and anions from the lattice sites results in Schottky defect This defect is observed in ionic compounds in which negative and positive ions are of same sizes
e.g.,

N a Cl, K Cl

etc

Q. A type of defect observed in stoichiometric compounds is Schottky defect. Schottky defect occur mainly in ionic compounds where

positive and negative ions are of different sizes

positive and negative ions are of same sizes

positive ions are small and negative ions are big

positive ions are big and negative ions are small

The absence of equal number of cations and anions from the lattice sites results in Schottky defect This defect is observed in ionic compounds in which negative and positive ions are of same sizes e.g., NaCl,KCl etc
