<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.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

East

Explanation:

Given Newton's third law of motion; "Action and reaction are equal and opposite", when a student jumps off a sled toward the west after it stops at the bottom of an icy hill, the sled will move in the East direction.

This is because, the force exerted on the sled is a reaction force and is opposite in direction to the force that thrusts the boy westward though equal in magnitude with the former.

Answer:

Weak bonds require less energy to form than strong bonds

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the force between two species is inversely proportional to the distance between them. That said, the bigger the atoms are, the greater the bond length should be to form a molecule.

As a result, for a greater bond length, the attraction force is lower than for a shorter bond length. This implies that large atoms would form weak bonds and small atoms would form strong bonds.

Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break the bond. If a bond is weak, it would require a low amount of energy to break it. This is also true for energy of formation, as it's the same process taking place in the opposite direction.
