NaCl shows Schottku defects and AgCl Frenkel defects. The electrical conductivity is due to the:

A

Motion of electrons and not the motion of ions

B

Motion of ions and not the motion of ions

C

Lower coordination number of `NaCl`

D

Higer coordination number of `AgCl`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Because in both types of defects, the electrical conductivity is due to the movement of ions is the one direction aned movement of hole to other side.
