EASY

Examine the defective crystal given below and answer the question that follows:

A+ B- A+ B- A+
B-   B- A+ B-
A+ B- A+   A+
B- A+ B- A+ B-

State if the above defect is stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric. How does this defect affect the density of the crystal? Also, write the term used for this type of defect.

MEDIUM
The correct statement among the following, regarding defects in solids is
1) Frenkel defect is favored by small difference in the sizes of cation and anion.
2) Frenkel defect is a metal excess defect.
3) Trapping of electron in the lattice leads to formation of F-centres.
4) Schottky defect has no effect on the physical property of solids.
MEDIUM
A metal exists as an oxide with formula M0.96O Metal M can exist as M+2 and M+3 in its oxide M0.96O. The percentage of M+3 in the oxide is, nearly

Out of NaCl and AgCl, which one shows Frenkel defect and why?

MEDIUM
Why is Frenkel defect not found in pure alkali metal halides?
MEDIUM

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Frenkel defects are vacancy as well as interstitial defects.
Statement II : Frenkel defect leads to colour in ionic solids due to presence of F-centres.

Choose the most appropriate answer for the statements from the options given below:
