Which point defects lowers the density of a crystal?
density of crystal is lowered in shottky defect because.in shottky defect equal no of cations & anions are missing from the lattice,so the electrical neutrality is mantained and as no of cations n anions are missing so mass will deacrease we know that
density=mass/volume
so density is directly proportional to mass,so due to deacrease in mass sdensity will also deacrease.
