Those defect which lead to change in composition of solids are called non-stoichiometric defects.They are most often inorganic compounds, and almost always solids They contain constituting particles in non-stoichiometric ratio, e.g., Fe0.93 O1.0, Ni0.94 O1.0 are examples of non-stochiometric compounds.
