Question

The correct statement regarding defects in the crystalline solid is (A) Schottky defects have no effect on the density of crystalline solids (B) Frenkel defects decreases the density of crystalline solids (C) Frenkel defect is a dislocation defect (D) Frenkel defect is found in halides of alkaline metals

Due to missing of ions Schottky defect results in decreased density but Frenkel defect has no effect over density because in it only ions dislocate from its original position to interstitial site.

Q. The correct statement regarding defects in the crystalline solid is

Schottky defects have no effect on the density of crystalline solids

Frenkel defects decreases the density of crystalline solids

Frenkel defect is a dislocation defect

Frenkel defect is found in halides of alkaline metals
