The defects of crystalline solids are called thremodynamics defects. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Only at 0 K, there is perfect arrangement of the C0nstituent particles As the temperature increases, the chance that a lattice site may be unoccupied by an ion increases. As the number of defects increases with temperature, the defects are called thermodynamics defects
