In a face centred lattice with all the positions occupied by A atoms the body centred octahedral hole in it is occupied by an atom B of an appropriate size for such a crystal, calculate the void space per unit volume of unit cell. Also predict the formula of the compound.

A compound of A and B crystallizes in a cubic lattice in which A atoms occupy the lattice points at the corners of a cube and two atoms of B occupy the center of each of the cube faces. What is the formula of this compound?

In a covalent solid the lattice points are occupied by

Ionic lattic has two major points defects ,(1) Schottky (2) Frenkel defects . Schottkly defects occurs due to the cations - anion pair's missing from the lattice sites . Frenkel defects occurs when cation leaves its lattice site and fits into an interstitial space. The neutrality of the crystal is being maintained and we considered all losses from interstitial positions. which defect decrease density of the crystal ?

Ionic lattic has two major points defects ,(1) Schottky (2) Frenkel defects . Schottkly defects occurs due to the cations - anion pair's missing from the lattice sites . Frenkel defects occurs levels its lattic site and fits into an intersitial space. The neturaity of the crystal is benig maintained and we considerd all losses from interstitical positions. Structure shown here represents :
