The defect produced due to the presence of extra cations at interstitial sites is called
metal excess defect
Schottky defect
metal deficiency defect
Frenkel defect
Solution
When a metal contains extra cations (metal ion) in the interstitial site of its lattice. We observe metal excess defect. It is a non-stoichiometric defect.
