What type of stoichiometric defect is shown by AgCl

Answered by admin @



Hey Friend :-)

Here is your answer

Frenkel defect, because of the large difference in the size of ${{Ag}^{+}}$ and ${{Cl}^{-}}$ ions.

A Frenkel defect is caused if some of the ions of a lattice occupy the interstitial sites by leaving a corresponding number of normal lattice sites vacant. It does not influence the density of the substance. This type of defect occurs in compounds with ions of different sizes.

Example: Silver chloride.

Frenkel defect is found in AgCl because the cation Ag+ and anion Cl- differ in their size to large extent. Hence, the cation Ag+  occupy the  interstitial sites by leaving a corresponding number of normal lattice sites vacant.

Hoping it helps

Thanks :D
