The correct statement regarding defect in solids is
A
Schottky defect has no effect on the physical properties of solids
B
Frenkel defect is a dislocation defect
C
Frenkel defect is usually favoured by a very small difference in the sizes of cations and anions
D
trapping of proton in the lattice leads to the formation of 
-centers.
-centers.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
: Schottky defect has effect on the physical properties of solids i.e., it decreases the density of crystal. Frenkel defect is usually favoured by a large difference in the sizes of cations and anions. Trapping of electron in the lattice site leads to the formation of 
-centers.
