Question
Which of the following defects decrease the density?
(i) Interstitial defect
(ii) Vacancy defect
(iii) Frankel defect
(iv) Schottky defect
Advertisements
Solution
(ii) Vacancy defect
(iv) Schottky defect
Explanation:
Vacancy and Schottky defect which lead to decrease the density both are the types of a stoichiometric defect. In case of Frenkel defect and interstitial defect, there is no change in density of substance.
