The molecules, atoms or ions in solids are closely packed means they are held together by strong forces and can not move randomly. ‘Thus solids have definite volume, shape, slow diffusion, low vapour pressure and possesses the unique property of being rigid. Such solids are known as true solids like NaCl, KCI, Sugar, Ag, Cute. On the other hand the solid which loses shapes on long standing, flows under its own weight and easly distorted by even mild distortion forces are called pseudo solids such as glass, pitch etc. ‘Some solids such as NaCl, Sugar, Sulphur etc. have properties not only of rigidity and incompressibilty bt also of having typical geometrical forms. These solids are celled as erystalline solids. In such solids there is definite arrangements of particies (atoms, ions or molecules} throughout the entire three dimensional network of a crystal in long-range order. This three dimensional arrangement is called crystal lattice or space lattice. Other solids such as glass, rubber, plastics etc. have rigidity and ineompressiblty to a certain extent but they do not have definite geometrical forms or do not have long range order are known as amorphous solids.

Thus they, leave a small space in between which is known as tetrahedral site or interstices. or The vacant space between 4 touching spheres is called as tetrahedral void. Since a sphere touches three spheres in the below layer and three spheres in the above layer hence there are two tetrahedral sites associated with one sphere. & oo A tetrahedral interstices ‘Tetrahedron geometry It may by noted that a tetrahedral site does not mean that the site is tetrahedral in geometry but it means that this site is surrounded by four ‘spheres and by joining the centres of these four spheres forms a requler tetrahedron.

Ideal erystals are grown up at absolute kelvin temperature (zero Ki) Solid state is characterised by vitratory motion about the mean position of constituent particles. At absolute zero allthe types of motions cease, and therefore crstals tend to have a perfeciy ordered arrangement. Aste temperature increases, salecular motions fbratory armpltudes increase and therefore the ions maylose their usual stesand ether get missed or ‘occupy interstitial postions in the esta... deviations irom ordered arrangement tekie place. Any deviation from the perfectly ordered arrangement gives rise fo 2 defector imperfection fn the caytal. Defect in erstals are procucad ether due to thermal effeds or by dking certain impurities in he pure erstab (doping). Defects in crystals maybe discussed as Crystal defects Stoichiometric Impurity defects Non stoichiometric defects (some external impurity is mixed} defects Schottky Frenkel Metal Metal defects defects excess defects deficiency defects (A) Stoichiometric Defects f@ Stoichiometric compounds are these in which the number of positive and negative ions are exactly in the ratio as shown by their chemical formulae. Two types of defects are observed in these compounds. {@) Schottky defect, (b) Frenkel defect Schottky defect : This type of defect is produced when equal number of cations and anions are missing from their respective positions leaving behind a pair of holes. The crystal as a whole remains neutral because the number of missing positive ions (cations) and negative tons (anions) is the samme Scherty defect e It is kind of vacancy defect. © Schottky defect appears generally in tonic compounds in which radius ratio Ir /r isnot far below unity. For this defect, the cations and anion should not differ much in size. © For schottky defect. co-ordination numbers of the ions should be high, Examples of ionic solids showing this defect are NaCl; CsCl, KCL. AgBr etc Consequences of schotthy defect : © Density of the crystal decreases © The crystal begins to conduct electricity to small extent by ionic mechanism, © The presence of too many ‘voids! lowers lattice energy or the stability of the crystal. 24 Pre-Medical Any (0) Frenkel defect : This type of defect js created when an ion leaves its appropriate site in the lattice and ‘occupies an interstitial site. A hole or vacancy is thus produced in the lattice. Frenkel detect The electroneutrality of the crystal is maintained since the number of positive and negative ions is the same, Since positive ions are small, in size, they usually leave their positions in the lattice and occupy interstitial positions. itis also calted dislocation defect. Frenkel defect is exhibited in ionic compounds in which the radius ratio [t°/r]is low. The cations and anions differ much in their sizes and the ions have low co-ordination numbers. Examplesare ZnS, AgB, Agl, AgCl Consequences of Frenkel defect : © itis akind of dislocation defect. © The closeness of lke charges tends to increase the dielectric constant ofthe crystal © The crystal showing a frenkel defect conducts electricity to a small extent by ionic mechanism, © The density of the crystal remains the same. (B) Impurity Defects If molten NaC! containing alittle amount of SrC\, is crystallised, some of the sites of Na* ions are occupied by Sr®*, Each Sr replaces two Na* Tons. It occupies the site of one ion and the other site remains vacant. The cationic vacancies thus produced are equal in number to that of Sr* ions, Another similar example is the solid solution of CdCI, and AgCl. Induction of cation vacancy in (C)_ Non-stoichiometric Defects ‘NaC! by substitution of Na” by Sr" These types of defects are observed in the compounds of transitional elements. These defects arise either due to the presence of excess metal ions or excess non-metal ions. {a) Metal excess defect due to anion vacancies : A compound may have excess metal ion if an anion {negative ion) is absent from its appropriate lattice site creating a ‘void which is occupied by an electron. Tonic crystal which are lkely 1o posses schotthy defect, may also develop this type of metal excess defect. ‘When alkali metal halides are heated in a atmosphere of vapours of the alkali metal, anion vacancies are ‘created. The anions thalde ions) diffuse to the surface ofthe erysta from theit appropriate lattice sites to combine with the newly generated metal cations. The e lost by the metal atom diffuse through the crystal are known as Fecentres. The main consequence of metal excess defect is the development of colour in the crystal. For example, when NaC! caystal is heated in an atmosphere of Na vapours, it becomes yellow. Similarly, KCI crystal when heated i an atmosphere of potassium vapours, it appear violet. ID ncrearnais anecer cine NcRE SOD STOLE SS BE d (b) Metal excess defect due to interstitial cations : This type of defect is shown by crystals which are likely to exhibit Frenkel defect. An excess positive ton is located in the interstitial site. To maintain electrical neutrality, an electron is present inthe intrestitial site. An example showing this type of defect is ZnO. When ZnO is heated, it loses oxygen reversibly, The excess Zn“* ions are accommodated in the interstitial sites, the, electrons are enclosed in the neighbouring interstitials. The yellow colour of ZnO when hot is due to these trapped electrons. These electrons also explain electrical conductivity of the Zn0 crystal ()_ Metal Deficiency Defect There are many solids which are difficult to prepare in the stoichiometric composition and contain less ‘amount of the metal as compared to the stoichiometric proportion. A typical example of this type is FeO which is mostly found with a composition of Fe, ..O. It may actually range from Fe, 0 to Fe, 40. In crystals of FeO some Fe cations are missing and the loss of positive charge is made up by the presence of required number of Fe" ions. ' On increasing temperature coordination number decreases. On increasing pressure; coordination number increases. Fin a crystal complete lattice of ion along a line are dissapeared, such defect is called line defect. Schotthy defects and Frenkel defects are point defects. - Structure of diamond : Sols which follows structure of diamonds known as diamond cubic.

Reason = In Schottky defect equal number of cations and anions are missing from their lattice sites. Ma QB @c @D Solution Ans. (2) Ilustration 18. Schotthy defect lowers the density of ionic crystals while Frenkel defect does not, Discuss. Solution. In Schotthy defect, cerlain cation and anions are missing irom the crystal lattice. Therefore, the density of the crystal decreases. However, in Frenkel defect the fons do not leave the lattice but they simply change their positions from lattice points to the interstitial spaces. As a result, the density of the crystal remains unchanged. i i 3 i 3 i i 23 Feed Bae 1, The edge length of face centred cubic unit cell having rock salt structure is 508 pm. the radius of the cation is 110 pm, the radius of the anion is (1) 144 pm (2) 288 pm (3) 618 pm (4) 398 pm 2. ina solid ‘AB’ having ihe NaCi struaure, ‘A’ atoms occupy the every cep and B atoms are in OHV, If all the face-centred atoms along one of the axes are removed, then the resultant stoichiometry ofthe solid is~ (1) AB, @AB GAB, AB, 3.
