(iii) “Stoichiometric defects are also known as intrinsic defects.” Give
reason. Solid is that form of matter which possesses rigidity and hence a definite shape
and definite volume. Solids can be classified into two types: Crystalline solids and
amorphous solids. Crystalline solids have regular arrangement of particles,
definite geometric shapes, sharp melting points and definite heat of fusion. They
