Out of $NaCl$ and $AgCl$ , which one shows Frenkel defect and why?

Answers (9)

$AgCl$ shows Frenkel defect because of the small size of $Ag^+$ ion, it can easily fit in the interstitial sites while $Na^+$ can not as it is bigger in size.

Frenkel defects: It is caused when an ion (cation) leaves its normal site and iccupioccan interstitial position.

It creates a vacancy defect at its original site and an interstitial defect at its new location .

AgCl show Frenkel Defects and NaCl is Schottky Defects.

Because,

• Ionic compounds with low coordination number .

• Anions are larger than Cations . Etc…

Frenkel defect is shown by those in which there is a large difference in the size of cations and anions. ... Hence, the Frenkel defect is shown by AgCl due to the small size of Ag+ ion but not by NaCl because alkali metal ions can not fit into interstitial sites.
