Crystal stability decreases, upon stoichiometric defects. Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Solid crystals are very stable because of orderly arranged particles in systematic lattices.
Eventhough stoichiometry is maintained, due to point defects, systematicity is lost and crystal stability decreases.
