Question

why frenkel defect is called interstitial defect​

Answer 1

Answer:

• When an atom or smaller ion (generally a cation) leaves its place in the lattice, creating a vacancy and becomes an interstitial by lodging in a nearby location. Thus, a vacancy is created in the lattice. This type of defect is called Frenkel defect.
