5. When electrons are trapped into the crystal in anion vacancy, the defect is known as :
a) Schottky defect
b) Frenkel defect
c) Stoichiometric defect
d) F-centres

Answer: d
Explanation: F-centres

6. In the laboratory, sodium chloride is made by burning sodium in the atmosphere of chlorine. The salt obtained is yellow in colour. The cause of yellow colour is
a) Presence of \[Na^{+}\] ions in the crystal lattice
b) Presence of \[Cl^{-}\] ions in the crystal lattice
c) Presence of electrons in the crystal lattice
d) Presence of face centred cubic crystal lattice

Answer: c
Explanation: Due to presence of F-centres

7. Schottky defect in crystals is observed when
a) unequal number of cations and anions are missing from the lattice
b)equal number of cations and anions are missing from the lattice
c) an ion leaves its normal site and occupies an interstitial site

Answer: b
Explanation: It is stoichiometric defect and it is observed when equal number of cations and anions are missing from the lattice site.
