Vedclass · Answer

(D) In a Schottky defect,an equal number of cations and anions leave their lattice sites to maintain electrical neutrality,creating vacancies. Thus,both cation and anion vacancies must be present in the crystal lattice. Option $D$ states that only one type of ion (either cation or anion) is missing,which would violate the principle of electrical neutrality. Therefore,statement $D$ is incorrect.
