Question

Non stoichiometric defects are formed by

A. $$s$$ - block elements
B. $$p$$ -block elements
C. either $$s$$ - block elements or $$d$$ - block elements
D. only $$d$$ - block elements.  
Answer :   only $$d$$ - block elements.
Solution :
In non stoichiometric defects ratio of cation and anion is not same that is represented by chemical ideal formula, this is due to variable oxidation nos of cation. Transition elements show variable oxidation nos.
