Detailed Solution

AgBr shows both Frenkel and Schottky defects because the radius ratio for AgBr is intermediate.

In AgBr, the Ag+ ions and corresponding Br ions are absent from the crystal lattice causing Schottky defects. However, Ag+ ions are exceptionally mobile and they have a tendency to move about inside the lattice. So they complement the Schottky defects with Frenkel defects with the Ag+ ions trapped in interstitial spaces. Because of the similar size of Ag+ ions and Br ions and the small size of Ag+ ions and the fact that Ag+ ions have a property to be mobile, both Schottky and Frenkel defects occur.
