Question
What are the consequences of Schottky defect?
✓
Answer
Consequences of Schottky defect :
Since the number of ions (cations and anions) decreases but volume remains unchanged, the density of a substance decreases.
As the number of missing cations and anions is equal, the electrical neutrality of the compound remains same.
This defect arises in ionic crystals like NaCl, AgBr, KCl, etc.
