Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Schottky defect in ionic solids does not change the density of the crystal

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(a) Schottky defect is a type of point defect in a crystal lattice in which ions leaves their lattice sites leaving vacancy. Hence, it decreases the density of crystal. (b) Packing efficiency is percentage value of total space filled by the particles. Packing efficiency…
