The correct answer is:
In a solid with Schottky defect atoms are missing from their position. Thus, the effective number of formula units per unit cell will decrease. so, density will also decrease.
For FCC lattice with Schottky defect, the effective atoms per unit cell,
Now, the formula for density
Effective atoms per unit cell
Atomic mass in
