Subjective Type

What type of stoichiometric defect is shown by AgCl?

Solution

$$AgCl$$ show Frenkel defect because of the difference of size of cation $$Ag^{+}$$ and $$Cl^{-}$$ to a large extent. Hence, the $$Ag^{+}$$ cation occupy the interstitial sites by leaving a corresponding number of lattice sites vacant.
