Frenkel Defect : This defect is shown by ionic solids. The smaller ion (usually cation) is dislocated from its normal
site to an interstitial site.
It creates a vacancy defect at its original site and an interstitial defect at its new location.
F-centre is formed in metal excess defect which is a non-stoichiometric defect.
