What is the effect of Frenkel defect on the density of ionic solids?
A
The density of the crystal increases
B
The density of the crystal decreases
C
The density of the crystal remains unchanged.
D
There is no relationship between density of a crystal and defect present in it.
Answer
The density of the crystal remains unchanged.
Explanation
Solution
In Frenkel defect, ion get displaced form their original position and move to interstitial sites. Hence, there is no change in the density of the crystal.
