प्रश्न
Explain the following term with a suitable example:
Interstitials
Advertisements
उत्तर
- When certain constituent particles, such as atoms or molecules, occupy interstitial positions, we refer to a crystal as having an interstitial defect.
- As shown in the figure, the presence of interstitial particles increases the substance’s density.
- Non-ionic solids exhibit interstitial flaws and vacancies.
- Ionic solids do not have simple vacancies or interstitial flaws as previously described because they must always maintain electrical neutrality.
- Rather, they display additional flaws referred to as Frenkel and Schottky faults.
- An example of interstitials is Carbon in Iron (Steel); Carbon atoms occupy interstitial sites in the iron lattice, making the metal stronger and harder.
