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

| 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. |
