In Schottky defect:-

Question

In Schottky defect:- (A) Density remains unchanged (B) Density gets decreased (C) Density gets increased (D) limiting radius ratio is low

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The Schottky defect lowers the density of ionic crystal. In this defect, cations or anions are missing. Due to their vacancies, the mass of crystal decreases but their volume remains same. Hence, there is decrease in the density.
