Hey Friend :-)
Here is your answer
Frenkel defect, because of the large difference in the size of ${{Ag}^{+}}$ and ${{Cl}^{-}}$ ions.
A Frenkel defect is caused if some of the ions of a lattice occupy the interstitial sites by leaving a corresponding number of normal lattice sites vacant. It does not influence the density of the substance. This type of defect occurs in compounds with ions of different sizes.
Example: Silver chloride.
Frenkel defect is found in AgCl because the cation Ag+ and anion Cl- differ in their size to large extent. Hence, the cation Ag+ occupy the interstitial sites by leaving a corresponding number of normal lattice sites vacant.
Hoping it helps
Thanks :D
