Which is the incorrect statement?

  1. A
    has non stoichiometric metal deficiency defect
  2. B
    Density decreases in case of crystals with Schottky's defect
  3. C
    is insulator, silicon is semiconductor, silver is conductor, quartz is piezo electric crystal
  4. D
    Frenkel defect is favoured in those ionic compounds in which sizes of cation and anions are almost equal

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

- (A) is correct: is usually non-stoichiometric because some are replaced by .(B) is correct: Schottky defect involves missing ions, reducing density.(C) is correct: solid is an insulator; silver is a metal; silicon is a semi-metal.(D) is incorrect: Frenkel defect is favored when there is a large difference in the sizes of cations and anions (allowing the smaller ion to fit into interstitial sites). Schottky defect is favored when sizes are similar.
