A metallic solid undergoes Frenkel defect. Its original mass, volume and density are \(M_0, V_0\) and \(D_0\) respectively. After Frenkel defect the mass, volume and density are \(M, V\) and \(D\) respectively. The variations of \(M, V\) and \(D\) after Frenkel defect are

  1. A \(M=M_0, V=V_0, D=D_0\)
  2. B \(M < M_0, V < V_0, D < D_0\)
  3. C \(M>M_0, V=V_0, D>D_0\)
  4. D \(M=M_0, V < V_0, D>D_0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(M=M_0, V=V_0, D=D_0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Frenkel defect, atoms remain within the solid crystal. Only one vacancy is created. Density remains the same. Thus, \(M=M_0, V=V_0\) and \(D=D_0\). Hence, the correct option is (a).
