What are the types of non - stoichiometric defects? Explain its. |
Answer» Types of non - stoichiometric efects: Metal excess defect: Due to anionic vacancies Due to presence of extra cations interstitial sites, Eg. ZnO Metal deficiency defect : Due to cation vacancies. Eg. In FeO crystal, some Fe2+ cations are missing and extra negative charge is balanced by acquiring extra positive charge by adjacent Fe2+ ion to become Fe3+ ion. |
