The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the defect when an ion occupies an interstitial position in the crystal lattice, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Crystal Lattice**: - A crystal lattice is a three-dimensional arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline material. Each position in the lattice can be occupied by an ion, and there are specific positions for cations and anions. **Hint**: Recall that a crystal lattice is structured in a way that allows for specific arrangements of ions. 2. **Identifying Interstitial Positions**: - Interstitial positions are the spaces or voids between the regular lattice points where smaller ions can fit. These positions are typically smaller than the lattice sites occupied by larger ions. **Hint**: Think about how smaller ions can fit into the gaps of a larger structure. 3. **Conditions for Interstitial Occupation**: - For an ion to occupy an interstitial position, there must be a significant size difference between the ions. This allows the smaller ion to fit into the voids created by the larger ions. **Hint**: Consider the size relationship between cations and anions in the lattice. 4. **Types of Defects**: - There are various types of defects in a crystal lattice, including vacancies, interstitials, and substitutions. The defect in question specifically involves an ion moving from its original lattice position to an interstitial position. **Hint**: Recall the different types of defects and focus on those involving movement of ions. 5. **Identifying the Specific Defect**: - The defect where an ion occupies an interstitial position is known as a "Frenkel defect." In a Frenkel defect, a cation or anion leaves its normal position and occupies an interstitial site, creating a vacancy at its original position. **Hint**: Remember the name of the defect that involves both a vacancy and an interstitial ion. 6. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the defect when an ion occupies an interstitial position in the crystal lattice is called a **Frenkel defect**. ### Summary: The defect when an ion occupies an interstitial position in the crystal lattice is known as a **Frenkel defect**.

When anion leaves the normal lattice site and electron occupies interstitial sites in its crystal lattice, It is called:

Any deviation from the perfectly ordered arrangement constitutes a defect or imperfection. The compounds in which the number of irregularity are present in the arrangement of atoms or ions are called atomic imperfections or point defects. These may be stochiometric or non - stoichlometric. Stoichiometric defects are further classified into Schottky defects in which number of positive and negative ions are missing in equal ratio and Frenkel defects in which an ion leaves its correct lattice sites and occupies on interstitial site. Schottky defect is more common in ionic compounds with high co-ordination number and where the size of positive and negative ions are almost equal, while in Frenkel defects are common in ionic compounds, which have low co-ordination number and in which there is large difference in size between positive and negative ions. When an ion leaves ir correct lattice and occupies interstital sites in its crystal lattice, it is called

In AgCl , the Ag^(o+) ions are deisplaced from their lattice position to an interstitial position. Such a defect is called

In a ideal crystal there nust be regular repeating arrangement of the constuting particles and its entropy must be zero at absolute zero at absolute zero temperature. However, it is impossible to obtain an ideal crystal and it suffers from certain defects called imperfections. In pure crystal these defects arise either due to disorder or dislocation of the movement of the particles even at absolute zero temperature. Such defect increases with rise in temperature. In addition ti this, certain defects arise due to the pressure of some impurities. Such defects not only modify the existing properties of the crystalline solid but also impart certain new characteritics to them. In pure crystal, e.g, silicon or germanium at 0K, the electrons are prsent in fully occupied lowest energy states and are not xpected to conduct any electricity. However at temperature above 0K, some electron leave their bonds and become free to move in the crystal lattice, giving rise to and become free to move in the crystal lattice, giving rise to electrical conductivity. The electron deficient bonds, called holes (+vely charged) and thermally mobile electrons move in opposite direction under the electric field. Stoichiometric ppoint defects include (a) Schottky defects, which arise due to missing of both cations and anions from their lattice sites without disturbing the stoichiometry and (b) Frenked defects, which arise due to misplacement of certian ions in the crystal lattice. The former defect gives rise to no change of density. Another type of defects are non-stoichometry defects where the cetions and anion are not present in the stoichiometry ratio. In metal excess defect, metal ions or positive ions are in excess as compared to anions of non-metals stoichiometrycally. On the other hand in metal deficiency defect, the cations are in lesser proportion than stoichiometric value. Since the crystal is neutral electrically, the balance of charge is maintained by free electrons or extra positive charges. The metal excess defects gives rise to conduction of electricity due to the presence of free electrons. Also crystals having metal excess defects are paramagnetic and coloured due to the presence of electrons in the anion vacancies. Impurity defects arise when some foreign atoms are present at the lattice sites in place of the host atoms or at the vacant interstitial sites. When 15 group elements like P or are doped into Si or Ge, the added impurity atoms occupy the lattice sites forming four covalent bonds with 4 Si/Ge atoms leaving an extra electron free to move. Such a crystal is said to be n-type semi conductor because the conduction of electricity is due to movement of extra unbounded electrons. If doping of a covalent crystal of 14 group elements are caused by addition of small amounts of elements are caused by addition of small amounts of elements of group 13, e.g, Al or Ga with three valence electrons, one covalent bond formed will be electron deficient and acts as a positive hole. The presence of such holes in the crystal leads to electrical conductivity and the the crystal is said to be p-type semiconductor. Lattice defect per 10^(15)NaCl is 1.
