What type of the following defect is produced when NaCl crystal is doped with ?
Options
- AInterstitial defect
- BSchottky defect
- CFrenkel defect
- DImpurity defect
Correct answer
D. Impurity defect
Step-by-step solution
When NaCl crystal is doped with , ions replace ions in the crystal lattice.
To maintain electrical neutrality, one ion replaces two ions. One ion occupies the site of one ion, leaving the other site vacant, which creates a cation vacancy.
Since a foreign ion is introduced into the host crystal, this type of defect is known as an impurity defect.
