Which outcome results from vacancy defects within a crystal lattice?

💡 Explanation

Increased ionic conductivity occurs because vacancy diffusion provides pathways for ions to move more easily through point defects within a lattice. The mechanism is vacancy diffusion; therefore, ionic conductivity rises,rather than electron mobility decreasing, since electronic properties depend on substitutional impurities under most material applications.
