Q13 / 180 · COMEDK 2023 (Memory Based) · Chemistry

Which defect leads to decrease in the density of crystal?

Correct answer
A
Schottky
B
$\mathrm{F}$-centre
C
Frenkel
D
Interstitial

Solution

Due to the presence of vacant lattice sites in Schottky defect, there is decrease in density of crystal.

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