Question
Like metallic crystals, ceramic crystals can have defects. We
want to identify the type of defects and consider how they
affect the overall crystal. Consider the schematic (on the
right) of a NaCl crystal after the formation of an Na* vacancy
to analyze for lonic type defects:
CH
Na
CI
What is the charge on the crystal before the vacancy is formed?
What is the charge on the crystal after the vacancy is formed?
Na
CI
Na
Cr
CI
Na
CI
Na
What should the charge on an ionic crystal be? Hint: what has the lowest energy;
something that is positively charged, negatively charged or neutral?
