What are F-centres in an ionic crystal ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

F-centres : In ionic compounds having non-stoichiometric defects aninoic vacancies are occupied by electrons. These are called F-centres. These electrons remain delocalised and are responsible for imparting colours to crystals.
