In a solid lattice, the cation has left a lattice site and is located at an interstitial position, the lattice defect is :

  • A

    Interstitial defect
  • B

    Valency defect
  • Correct answer
    C

    Frenkel defect
  • D

    Schottky defect

Solution

Frenkel defect is due to dislocation of ion from its usual lattice site to interstitial position.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
