(a) The stiochiometric defect observed in AgCl crystal is Frenkel defcet since there is large difference in the size of Ag^{+} and Cl^{-}.

(b) Atoms per unit simple cubic unit cell is 1.

a = 2r

Packing efficiency = \frac{Vol. of a sphere}{Vol. of a unit cell}

                               = \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}}{a^{3}}\times 100 = \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}}{(2r)^{3}}\times 100 = \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}}{8r^{3}} \times 100 = \frac{\pi }{6}\times 100 = 52.4%
