Question

In which among the following solids, Schottky defect is NOT observed? (A) ZnS (B) NaCl (C) KCl (D) CsCl

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Schottky defect is shown by those compounds in which the cations and anions are of almost similar sizes. Therefore,

C s Cl, K Cl

and

N a Cl

will show schottky defect while ZnS will not show this defect due to large difference in size of anion and cation

Note ZnS will show Frenkel defect
