(iii) “Stoichiometric defects are also known as intrinsic defects.” Give Solid is that form of matter which possesses rigidity and hence a definite shape
reason. and definite volume. Solids can be classified into two types: Crystalline solids and
amorphous solids. Crystalline solids have regular arrangement of particles,
definite geometric shapes, sharp melting points and definite heat of fusion. They

solids have no regular arrangement of particles, irregular shapes, melt over a
range of temperature, no definite heat of fusion. They are isotropic and undergo
