defects

Stoichiometric Defects - If imperfections in the crystal are such that the ratio between the anions and cations remain same as represented by the molecular formula, the defect is called a stoichiometric defect. There are three types of stoichiometric defects:..

If an ion is missing from its lattice site (causing a vacancy or a hole there) and it occupies the interstitial site so that electrical neutrality as well as stoichiometry of the compound are maintained. This type of defect is called Frenkel defect. Since the size of cations ar..

In in ionic crystal of the type A + B - , equal number of anions and cations are missing from the lattice sites so that electrical neutrality is maintained it is called schottky defect. fig 2.29 - Schottky defect..

Defects of Vision - A normal eye can see all objects over a wide range of distances i.e., from 25 cm to infinity. But due to certain abnormalities the eye is not able see objects over such a wide range of distances and such an eye is said to be defective. Some of the defect..

Defects in Crystals - According to third law of thermodynamic it is only at OK that true crystals passes perfect order of arrangement of atoms in pure crystals. But with rise in temperature some derivations from complete order takes place. Presence of impurities also adds to disorder. "An..

Types of defects in Crystals - The defect, which arises due to the irregularity in the arrangement of atoms or ions are called point defects. Point defects are of three types: Stoichiometric defects Non-stoichiometric defects Impurity ..

If an imperfection causes the ratio of cations to anions to become different from that indicated by the ideal chemical formula, the defect is called non-stoichiometri..
