Given below are two statements: Statements I: Frenkel defects are vacancy as well as interstitial defects. Statements II : Frenkel defects leads to color in ionic solids due to presence of F-centres. Choose the most appropriate answer for the statements from the option given below:
Option: 1 Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Option: 2 Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Option: 3 Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Option: 4 Both Statement I and Statement II are true
As we have learnt,
Frenkel defects are dislocation defect in which there is a vacancy defect at the lattice point and an interstitial defect in the lattice. Hence, statement I is true.
F-centres are not created due to Frenkel defect but are created due to anionic vacancy . Thus, statement II is false
Hence, the correct answer is option (3)
