Q10 / 120 · VITEEE 2006 · Chemistry

Schottky defect in solids is due to

Correct answer
A
a pair of cation and anion vacancies
B
occupation of interstitial site by a pair of cation and anion
C
occupation of interstitial site by a cation
D
occupation of interstitial site by an anion

Solution

Schottky defect is caused when equal number of cations and anions are missing from their lattice sites.

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