प्रश्न
Write a note on Frenkel defect.
उत्तर
Frenkel defect arises due to the dislocation of ions from its crystal lattice. The ion which is missing from the lattice point occupies an interstitial position. This defect is shown by ionic solids in which cation and anion differ in size.
Unlike Schottky defect, this defect does not affect the density of the crystal. For example AgBr, in this case, a small Ag+ ion leaves its normal site and occupies an interstitial position as shown in the figure.
