holes. This is a stoichiometric point defect. The defected crystal is electrically neutral. But density and covalent nature are
decreased. Dielectric constant and hence ionic nature are increased. Defected crystals show little electrical conductivity. This
defect is shown by ionic compounds with low co-ordination numbers. The difference in the sizes of oppositely charged ions
