Question

Which type of defects present in brass​

Answer 1

Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc that can contain as little as 10%, or as much as 45%, zinc. Distortions of the crystal lattice often occur when impurities are added to a solid.

Answer 2

Frenkel defect is found in Brass.

Explanation:

• Frenkel defect is found in Brass.It is also known as an interstitial defect.
• In this defect when cation or anion from solid leaves its regular site and they move to a different space and occupy a place between the lattice site.
• These defects occur when the impurities are added to a solid.
• Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc,this mixture contains a little of 10 %  to 45 % Zinc.
• Here these defects occur when the foreign atoms occupy the lattice sites in place of host atoms.
• In Brass the host atom Copper is replaced by Zinc atoms.
