Question
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.
