Question

What is schottky defect?????

Answer 1

Answer:

Schottky Defect = The defect in crystal lattice due to the missing of equal number of cation and anion from their lattice site. This defect decreases density but neutrality is maintained. Nacl, CsCl etc. shows this defect is called Schottky Defect.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

A Schottky defect is a type of point defect in a crystal lattice named after Walter H. Schottky. In non-ionic crystals it means a lattice valency defect. In ionic crystals, this point defect forms when oppositely charged ions leave their lattice sites, creating vacancies
