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.
