Question

Frenkel defect in agcl of structure of chemistry class12

Answer 1

Frenkel defects are the defects in which the ions leave their positions and occupy interstitial sites.

-Frenkel defect in AgCl can be explained by the following -

-There is a difference between the sizes of Ag and Cl atoms

-Thus Ag atom leaves its positions and occupies interstitial sites.

-This creates a vacancy defect at their positions and interstitial defect at the new sites
