Which outcome occurs when a crystal lattice contains vacancies?

A)Enhanced diffusion rate of atoms
B)Increased thermal conductivity linearly
C)Diminished mechanical shear strength
D)Consistent electron mobility irrespective temperature

💡 Explanation

Enhanced atom diffusion arises because, within imperfections in the lattice framework, there is increased atomic mobility via the vacancy diffusion mechanism; therefore diffusion rates increase, rather than properties remaining unchanged given a perfect, defect-free lattice.
