Question

What type of defect is produced when nacl is doped with srcl2?

Answer 1

Answer:

VACANCY DEFECT (METAL DEFICIENCY TYPE)

Explanation:

Answer 2

A metal deficiency or cation deficiency defect is produced.

• This defect is produced because when sodium is replaced by strontium, cation will be absent leading to cation vacancy.
• A metal deficiency is seen due to cation vacancy.
• Metal deficiency: Here, when a cation is absent in a lattice, to maintain the electrical balance, the space is occupied by an extra positive charge electron leading to meta deficiency.
