Question
What type of defect can arise when a solid is heated? Which physical property is affected by it and in what way?
Solution
When a solid is heated, vacancy defect can arise. A solid crystal is said to have vacancy defect when some of the lattice sites are vacant.
Vacancy defect leads to a decrease in the density of the solid.
