IMPERFECTIONS IN SOLIDS
• The non-stoichiometric
compound may have metal
deficiency due to the absence
of a metal ion from its lattice
site. The change is balanced
by an adjacent ion having
higher positive charge . This
type of defect are generally
shown by compounds of
transition metal.
(C) Impurity Defects
These defects arise when impurities are present at the lattice
site or at the vacant interstitial sites. In the former case we
get substitutional solid solutions while in the latter case we
get interstitial solid solutions.
The introduction of impurities into pure crystal is called
doping.
