Schottky defect is observed in crystals when

• some cations move from their lattice site to interstitial sites

• equal number of cations and anions are missing from the lattice

• some lattice sites are occupied by electrons

• some imurity is present in the lattice

Frenkel defect is observed in crystals when

• some cations move from their lattice site to interstitial sites

• equal number of cations and anions are missing from the lattice

• some lattice sites are occupied by electrons

• some imurity is present in the lattice

Which statement is true about Schottky Defect?

• It is observed in compounds having low coordination number

• It is usually favoured by a very small difference in the sizes of cation and anion

• It increases the density of the crystal lattice

• It is a non-stoichiometric point defect

In METAL EXCESS DEFECTS the sites where an electron gets trapped in the anionic vacancy disturbing the ratio of cation to anion is known as

• E- CENTRE

• F- CENTRE

• G- CENTRE

• I- CENTRE
