The defect may arise due to the heat absorbed by the crystals from the surrounding or due to the presence of impurities in the crystals and also due to the irregularities in the arrangement of constituent particles. When the rate of crystallisation is fast, more defects are present. When the rate of crystallisation is slowest, the defects are minimized. The physical and chemical properties of crystalline solids are affected due to presence of crystal defects
