Question:medium

Identify the defect developed when an ion of an ionic compound is missing from its regular site and occupies an interstitial position between lattice points.

Show Hint

The key difference between Schottky and Frenkel defects is that Schottky involves the absence of both an anion and cation, whereas Frenkel involves only one ion displaced to an interstitial site.
