    What do you mean by ‘point defects' in crystals?

    Solution
    Point defects are caused by missing or misplaced ion or atom in the crystal lattice i.e., deviation from regular arrangement of ions/ particles in the crystal.
    Point defects can be classified into three types : (i) stoichiometric defects (ii) impurity defects and (iii) non-stoichiometric defects.

    Define dislocation in crystals.

    Solution
    crystal defect. Line defects, or dislocations, are lines along which whole rows of atoms in a solid are arranged anomalously. The resulting irregularity in spacing is most severe along a line called the line of dislocation. Line defects can weaken or strengthen solids.
