What is the effect of Schottky defect on the density of crystal ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Schottky Defect**: - A Schottky defect occurs in a crystal when equal numbers of cations and anions are missing from their lattice positions. This creates vacancies in the crystal structure. 2. **Example of Schottky Defect**: - Consider the sodium chloride (NaCl) crystal structure. In this structure, if one Na⁺ ion and one Cl⁻ ion are removed, it results in a vacancy. This is a classic example of a Schottky defect. ...
