Class 12th "SOLID STATE"
DEFECTS IN SOLIDS
"Any departure from the perfectly ordered arrangement in a crystal is termed as defects in that crystal."
These are two types of defects in solids or crystals :
(i) Electronic defects : The electrons and holes in solids gives rise to electronic defects.
"The error in charge distribution in solids is called electronic defects."
• These defects are produced when the composition of an ionic crystal doesn't correspond to the exact stoichiometric formula.
(ii) Atomic defects : The defects caused by the non-arrangement of ions/atom.
These are two types of atomic defects as follows :
[A] Point Defects : The defects caused by a departure from the periodic arrangement of particles in the vicinity of an atoms.
These are three types of Point Defects :
1. Stoichiometric Defects.
2. Non-Stoichiometric Defects.
3. Impurity Defects.
[B] Non-Stoichiometric Defects :
1. Metal excess defect due to anion vacancies.
2. Metal excess defect due to interstitial cation.
3. Metal deficiency defect due to cation vacancies.
[C] Impurity Defects :
1. Defects in Cordination solids.
2. Defects in Ionic solids.
