Crystal with higher coordination number are suffering from schottky defect. NaCl have high coordination Numberb i.e 6:6 

 

 

Schottky defect -

Defect in which equal number of cation and anions are missing from their crystal lattice site called schottky defect .

In this defect density of crystal deecreases and crystal behaves as P - type semiconductor , conductivity of crystal increases .

% of missing unit = (\frac{d_{theoretical} - d_{experimental}}{d_{theoretical}}) \times 100

- wherein

This defect is common in the compound having high coordination number and almost equal size of cation and anion.

ex : NaCl , KCl , CsCl , AgBr etc
