MCQ
Schottky defect is observed in the crystal of:
A
$\text{AgCl}$
✓
$\text{NaCl}$
C
$\text{MgCl}_2$
D
$\text{TiCl}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\text{NaCl}$
Schottky defect is a type of point defect in crystal lattice named after walter $H$ scottky. In non$-$iodic crystals, it means a lattice vacany defect. In ionic$-$crystals, the defect forms when oppositely charged ions leave their lattice sites, creating vacancies.
Eg$. \text{AgBr, NaCl}.$
$\Rightarrow$ Schottky defect abserved in $\text{NaCl}$ crystal.
