Question
CBSEENCH12011412

Which is the incorrect statement?

  • FeO0.98 has non stoichiometric metal deficiency defect

  • Density decreases in case of crystals with Schottky's defect

  • NaCl(s) is insulator, silicon is semiconductor,silver is conductor, quartz is piezo electric crystal

  • Frenkel defect is favoured in those ionic compounds in which sizes of cation and anionsare almost equal

Solution

A.

FeO0.98 has non stoichiometric metal deficiency defect

D.

Frenkel defect is favoured in those ionic compounds in which sizes of cation and anionsare almost equal

Frenkel defect occurs in those ionic compounds in which size of cation and anion is largely different.
The non-stoichiometric ferrous oxide is Fe0.93–0.96O1.00 and it is due to metal deficiency defect.
