Frenkel defect is noticed in

A

AgBr

B

ZnS

C

Agl

D

All of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Frenkel defect is shown by ionic solids with large size difference between the anion and cation (with the cation usually smaller due to an increased effective nuclear charge). ZnS, AgCl, AgBr, AgI all display this defect due to the smaller size of `Zn^(2+)` and `Ag^(+)` ions compared to the anions.

Why is Frenkel defect not found in alkali metal halides?

Assertion : Due to Frenkel defect, there is no change in the density of the crystalline solid. Reason : In Frenkel defect, no cation or anion leaves the crystal.

Assertion : Frenkel defect is also called dislocation defect. Reason : Frenkel defect is shown by ionic substances in which cation and anion are of almost similar sizes.
