The correct statement regarding defects in the crystalline solid is 

  • Schottky defects have no effect on the density of crystalline solid

  • Frenkel defect decreases the density of crystalline solids

  • Frenkel defect is a dislocation defect

  • Frenkel defect is found in halides of alkaline metals

Solution

C.

Frenkel defect is a dislocation defect

In Frenkel defect, ions in solid dislocate from their position. Hence, Frenkel defect is a dislocation defect.
