One mole crystal of a metal halide of the type MX\text{MX} with molecular weight 119g\text{119}\text{g} having face centered cubic structure with unit cell length 6.58Å\text{6}\text{.58}\text{Å} was recrystallized. The density of the recrystallized crystal was found to be 2.44gcm−32.44gcm^{- 3}. The type of defect introduced during the recrystalization may be

Options

  1. Aadditional M+M^{+} and X−X^{-} ions at interstitial sites
  2. BSchottky defect
  3. CF-centre
  4. DFrenkel defect

Correct answer

B. Schottky defect

Step-by-step solution

Calculated density d=Z×molermassNa×volume=2.78gcm−3d = Z \times \dfrac{molermass}{{N}_{a} \times volume} = 2.78gcm^{- 3}
Is greater then actual density 2.44gcm−32.44gcm^{- 3} therefore density decreases and defect is Schottky defect
