The defect forms when oppositely charged ions leave their lattice sites, creating vacancies. These vacancies are formed in stoichiometric units, to maintain an overall neutral charge in the ionic solid. The vacancies are then free to move about as their own entities. Normally these defects will lead to a decrease in the density of the crystal.

What does low power schotkky mean?

Schottky was the physicist who predicted the Schottky effect. The effect was first exploited in the electron guns that were used much the most often in the old television tubes. Schottky predicted that electrons would find it easier to 'escape' the negatively charged cathode of one of these tubes. A Schottky solid-state diode exploits this effect at a metal to semiconductor junction. In contrast a semiconductor to semiconductor junction involves minority carriers as well, which tend to collect at the junction. Because no charge collects at the junction of the Schottky device it tends to be faster. However, it uses more power. Low power Schottky devices were developed to show greater resistance to the circuit to reduce their power consumptions. Subsequent higher resistance (and lower power) devices have since been developed. Please see the link.


When a solid melts does the number of atoms decrease?

No, it is not correct.


How do you change gas into solid?

cool it down or decrease the pressure


Does increasing the surface area of a solid decrease the rate of solution?

no


does solid to gas increase or decrease tempearture?

When a solid changes to a gas (sublimation), it absorbs energy from its surroundings, leading to a decrease in temperature. The energy is used to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid together, rather than raising the temperature.

Why does the volume of a heated solid decrease?

When a solid is heated, the molecules gain kinetic energy and vibrate more vigorously, leading to an increase in the space between molecules. This increased kinetic energy causes the solid to expand, which can result in a decrease in the overall density and volume of the solid due to the increased space between molecules.


What is a form of solid water?

Ice is a form of solid water, formed when water freezes and turns into a solid state due to a decrease in temperature.
