Which type of defect present in NaCl ?

Which type of defect present in NaCl ?

Options

  1. AFrenkel defect
  2. BSchottky defect
  3. CF-centre defect
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

B. Schottky defect

Step-by-step solution

Key Idea Schottky defect is a vacancy defect in ionic solids. It is shown by those ionic substances in which the cations and anions are of almost similar sizes. Schottky defect is present in sodium chloride (NaCl)(\mathrm{NaCl}). This defect arises when equal number of cations and anions are missing from their lattice sites such that electrical neutrality is maintained. e.g. CsCl,NaCl,KCl,AgBr\mathrm{CsCl}, \mathrm{NaCl}, \mathrm{KCl}, \mathrm{AgBr}, etc.
