Schottky defect defines imperfection in the lattice structure of a

Options

(a) solid
(b) gas
(c) liquid
(d) plasma

Correct Answer:

solid

Explanation:

Schottky defect: If some of the lattice points are unoccupied, called vacancies or holes, the lattice becomes defective. Equal number of cations and anions usually absent so that the crystal remains remains neutral.
