Question

Which among the following statements is true about Schottky defect?

पर्याय

• In this defect cation and anion are lacking in stoichiometric proportion

• Formation of metal alloy Is example of this defect

• In this cation or anion moves from regular site to place between lattice site

• In this regular cation is replaced by different cation

Answer 1

In this defect cation and anion are lacking in stoichiometric proportion

Explanation:

The cation and anion are not in stoichiometric proportion in the Schottky defect. In ionic solids, it's essentially a vacancy defect. The quantity of missing cations and anions must be equal to maintain electrical neutrality. The following illustration clearly depicts this flaw.
