Solution
Schottky defect is observed in crystals when equal number of cations and anions are missing from the lattice.
Explanation:
| Defect | Definition | Type of solid |

Structure of crystal (with defect) |
| Schottky defect |
A crystal is said to have Schottky defect if equal number of cations and anions are missing from their normal lattice site there by creating vacancies or holes. |
