Question

Which type of spidumetric defect in shon by the following agcl,ka

Answer 1

This type of defect occurs in compounds with ions of different sizes. 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.
