The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Schottky Defect**: - A Schottky defect occurs in ionic solids where there is a vacancy of ions in the lattice. Specifically, it involves the absence of both cations and anions. 2. **Identifying Missing Ions**: - In a Schottky defect, an equal number of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negatively charged ions) are missing from their lattice positions. This maintains the overall charge neutrality of the crystal. 3. **Visual Representation**: - Imagine a crystal lattice where some lattice sites (positions where ions should be) are vacant. For example, if one cation and one anion are missing, it creates a Schottky defect. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct statement regarding Schottky defect is that "some lattice sites are vacant," as it reflects the missing ions in the lattice. 5. **Final Answer**: - The correct option is that in a Schottky defect, some lattice sites are vacant due to the absence of equal numbers of cations and anions. ---

What are point defects in crystals ? Describe the Schottky defects in crystals.

When an atom or an ion is missing from its nomal lattice site a lattice vacanecy (Schottky defect) is created. In stoichmeteric ionic crystals, a vacancy of one ion has to be accompanied by the vacancy of the oppositely charge ion in order to maintain electrical neutrality. In a Frenkel defect an ion leaves its position in the lattice and occupies an interstitial void. This id the Frenkel defect commonly found along with the Schottky defects and interstitial. In pure alkali halides. Frenked defects are not found since the ions cannot get into the interstitial sites. Frenkel defects are found in silver halides because of the small size of the Ag^(+) ion. Unike Schottky defects, Frenkel defect do not change the density of the solids. in certain ionic solids (e.g., AgBr) both schottky and Frenkel defect occur. The Defects idiscussed above do not disturb the stoichiometery of the crystalline material. there is large variety of non-stoichiometric inorganic solids which contains an excess or deficienty of one of the elements. Such solids showing deviations from the ideal stoichiometric composition from an important group of solids. For example in the vanadium oxide, VO_(x),x can be anywehere between 0.6 and 1.3 there are solids such as difficult to prepare in the soichiometric omposition thus, the ideal composition in compounds such as FeO is difficult to obtain (normally we get a compositiion of Fe(0.95) O but it may range from Fe_(0.93) O to Fe_(0.96)O ). Non-stoichiometric behavious is most commonly found for transition metal compounds through is also known for some lathanoids and actinoids. Zinc oxide loses oxygen reversible at high temperature and turns yellow in colour. the excess metal is accomodated interstitial, giving rise to electrons trapped in the neighbourhood, the enchanced electrical conductivity of the non-stoichiometric ZnO arises from these electrons. Anion vacancies in alkali halides are produced by heating the alkali halid crystals in an atmosphere of the alkali metal vapour. when the metal atoms deposit on the surface they diffuse into the cystal and after ionisation the alkali metal ion occupies cationic vacancy whereas electron occupies anionic vacancy. Electrons trapped i anion vacancies are referred to as F-centers (From Farbe the German word for colouf) that gives rise to interesting colour in alkali halides. Thus, the excess of potassium i KCl makes the crystal appear violet and the excess of lithium in LiCl makes it pink. Which of the following is most appropritate crystal to show Fremkel defect ?

When an atom or an ion is missing from its normal lattice site, a lattice vacancy (Schottky defect) is created. In stoichimetric ionic crystals, a vacancy of one ion has to be accompanied by the vacancy of the oppositely charged ion in order to maintain electrical neutrality. In a Frenkel defect an ion leaves its position in the lattice and occupies an interstitial void. This is the Frenkel defect commonly found along with the Schottky defects and interstitials.
