Schottky defects are type of vacancy defects.

c

Packing fraction remains unaffected in Frenkel defects.

Detailed Solution

(A) The absence of an equal amount of cations and anions from a crystal lattice results in the formation of Schottky defects. Dislocation defects are often referred as as Frenkel defects. Therefore, this assertion is false.

(b) Two cation vacancies are produced when Al3+ is added to NaCl. The crystal lattice now bears Na+2 charge after one Na+ was replaced with an Al3+. Only two vacancies are produced because only two Na+ ions need to be eliminated in order to preserve electroneutrality.

 (c ) Because As has one extra valence electron than Si, it can be added to Si to produce n-type semiconductors.

d) The packing fraction measures the percentage of a crystal structure's volume that is occupied. Therefore, packing fraction declines as a result of the vacancy defect.

hence option (b) is incorrect
