Chemistry Question on Imperfections in Solids
Schottky defect is
A
vacancy of ions
B
delocalization of ions
C
interstitial vacancy of ions
D
vacancy of only cations
Answer
vacancy of ions
Explanation
Solution
In Schottky defect, some of the lattice points are unoccupied (vacancies or holes). The number of missing cations and anions is the same, thus crystal remains neutral.
