Statement 1: In any ionic solid [MX] withschotty defects, the number of positive and negative ions are same
Statement 2: Equals number of cation and anion vacancies are present .
A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanantion of the assertion
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If assertion is false but reason is true.
Statement 2: Equals number of cation and anion vacancies are present .
A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanantion of the assertion
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If assertion is false but reason is true.
Correct Answer – A
Schottky defect is defined as a vacancy developed for anion and cation site, so cation and anion vacancy will be same in number. Therefore an ionic solid MX with Schottky defects will still have the same number of anions and cations.
