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.
