Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).Assertion (A): In a particular point defect, an ionic solid is electrically neutral, even if a few of its cations are missing from its unit cells.Reason (R): In an ionic solid, Frenkel defect arises due to the dislocation of cation from its lattice site to an interstitial site, maintaining overall electrical neutrality.
Both (A) and (R) are correct, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Both (A) and (R) are correct, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect
(A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct
To solve this problem, we need to analyze both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) given in the question.Assertion (A):In a particular point defect, an ionic solid is electrically neutral, even if a few of its cations are missing from its unit cells.Reason (R):In an ionic solid, Frenkel defect arises due to the dislocation of cation from its lattice site to an interstitial site, maintaining overall electrical neutrality.Let's analyze each statement:• Assertion (A) is describing a situation where an ionic solid remains electrically neutral despite the absence of some cations. This is possible in a Schottky defect, where equal numbers of cations and anions are missing, maintaining electrical neutrality.
