Which of the following compounds is likely to show both Frenkel and Schottky defects in its crystalline form?
Options
- AAgBr
- BCsCl
- CKBr
- DZnS
Correct answer
A. AgBr
Step-by-step solution
AgBr can exhibit both Schottky and Frenkel defect. Schottky defect in AgBr is exhibited due to the precipitation of both cations and anions. In AgBr , Ag + ion is small in size and when removed from the lattice point, they can occupy the interstitial sites and, hence, shows both Frenkel and Schottky defects.
