For $\mathrm{NaCl}$, the number of Schottky pairs per $\mathrm{cm}^3$ at room temperature is

For $\mathrm{NaCl}$, the number of Schottky pairs per $\mathrm{cm}^3$ at room temperature is
  1. $10^{12}$
  2. $10^{23}$
  3. $10^{6}$
  4. $10^{4}$

Solution

For $1 \mathrm{~cm}^3$ of $\mathrm{NaCl}$, there are $10^{22}$ ions, so there are $10^{16}$ ions present per Schottky defect. Therefore, for each $\mathrm{cm}^3$, there are $10^6$ Schottky pairs at room temperature.
