<span>Non-stoichiometric defects are </span>compounds which contain the combining elements in a ratio different from that required by their stoichiometric formula. The solids with metal excess <span>defect </span>contain metal in excess to the stoichiometric ratio. Such defect is caused due to either of the following reasons:
1. <span>Metal excess Defect due to Anionic Vacancies:
     In this, </span>negative ions may be missing from their lattice sites leaving holes in which the electrons remain entrapped to maintain the electrical neutrality.
2. Metal excess defect due to the presence of extra cations at interstitial sites:
     In this case, there are extra positive ions occupying interstitial sites and the electrons in another interstitial sites to maintain electrical neutrality. The defect may be visualized as the loss of non-metal atoms which leave their electrons behind. The excess metal ions occupy interstitial positions.

Choose the correct statement regarding the behavior of water.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

d. The energy required to evaporate 1 kg of liquid water equals the energy released when 1 kg of water vapor condenses into liquid.

Explanation:

Hello,

Since we're considering the same amount of water, the vapor phase has a higher energy content than the liquid phase, thus, for the specified amount of water particles (those contained in the given 1 kg) the energy MUST be same when taking them either to a gaseous phase or to a liquid phase, the only difference is the sign which is negative from gaseous to liquid (heat withdrawal) and positive from liquid to gaseous (heat adding).

Best regards.
