Question

Statement-1 : In any ionic solid (MX) with Schottky defects,
the number of positive and negative ions are same.
Statement-2 : Equal number of cation and anion vacancies
are present.

Answer 1

Answer:

actually what is the question ❓

Answer 2

Both the statements are correct and statement 2 correctly describes statement 1.

Explanation:

• Crystal defects are defined as the vacancies that are present in a crystal.

• The cations and anions are absent from the whole crystal or they are absent from the space where they should be present.

• The crystal defects are mainly of two types - Frenkel defect and Shottky defect.

• The shottky defect is that type of defect where the equal number of cations and anions are absent from the crystal lattice.

• This results in absence of anions from its place as well as cations from its space.

• This results in balance of charge and maintains the charge of the crystal to neutral.

• The density of the crystal on the other hand decrease because of the absence of the ions.
