Which is the incorrect statement?
Explanation
Frenkel defects need a large size difference between ions.
Detailed Solution
Frenkel defect occurs in those ionic compounds in which the sizes of cation and anion are largely different, so the statement about Frenkel defect is incorrect.
Non-stoichiometric ferrous oxide is $Fe_{0.93-0.96}O_{1.00}$ and it is due to metal deficiency defect, so the formula $FeO_{0.98}$ in the statement is also incorrect.
Note: the source key accepts both the $FeO_{0.98}$ statement and the Frenkel-defect statement as incorrect statements.
