Question

in stoichiometric defect how can interstitial defect not affect the stoichiometry of the cell​

The defects do not disturb the stoichiometry (the ratio of numbers of positive and negative ions) are called stoichiometric defects. These are of following types, (a) Interstitial defect: This type of defect is caused due to the presence of ions in the normally vacant interstitial sites in the crystals.
