SCHOTTKY DEFECT ------

1)schottky defect means when equal number of cations and anions are missing from the letters points of the solid

2)this defect is shown by celebs having high co-ordination number and small difference in size of cation and anion

3)in schottky defect the density of the solid decreases
***examples NaCl, KCl etc***

FRENKEL DEFECT -----

1)frenkel defect is a defect when a cation is missing from its lattice point and occupy interstitial position

2)this defect is shown by solids having low co-ordination number and large difference in size of cation and anion

3)here density of the solid remains same because no ions escape

SHINUU: thank you so much
raminder1: wc.....

Answer:

Frenkel Defect:

  • Ionic solids containing large differences in the sizes of ions show this type of defect.
  • When the smaller ion (usually cation) is dislocated from its normal site to an interstitial site, Frenkel defect is created.
  • It creates a vacancy defect as well as an interstitial defect.
  • Frenkel defect is also known as dislocation defect.
  • Ionic solids such as AgCl, AgBr, AgI, and ZnS show this type of defect.  

Schottky defect:

  • Schottky defect is basically a vacancy defect shown by ionic solids.
  • In this defect, an equal number of cations and anions are missing to maintain electrical neutrality.
  • It decreases the density of a substance.
  • Significant number of Schottky defects is present in ionic solids.
  • For example, in NaCl, there are approximately 106 Schottky pairs per cm3 at room temperature.
  • Ionic substances containing similarsized cations and anions show this type of defect.
  • For example: NaCl, KCl, CsCl, AgBr, etc.
