← ScienceWhich outcome reduces conductivity when doping NaCl with CaO?
A)Increased Schottky defect concentration✓
B)Enhanced electron-hole recombination
C)Decreased lattice phonon scattering
D)Augmented ionic transport pathways
💡 Explanation
Adding CaO introduces Ca²⁺ substituting Na⁺, Charge neutrality requires vacancies, increasing the Schottky defect concentration as the favored *defect formation*. This reduces the availability of Na⁺ ions for ionic conduction because it creates charge imbalances therefore decreased flow rather than increased transport.
