Vacancy diffusion is slower than interstitial diffusion, because_______

Vacancy diffusion is slower than interstitial diffusion, because_______ Correct Answer Bonding of Interstitial to the surrounding atom is weaker

There are mainly two reason for this. The first one, the weak bonding of interstitial to surrounding atoms and the second one is due to many more interstitial sites than vacancy sites to jump to.

Interstitial diffusion is generally faster than diffusion by vacancy mode. This is because:
Consider the following statements regarding crystal defects: 1. In metals, a self-interstitial introduces relatively large distortions in the surrounding lattice because the atom is substantially larger than the interstitial position in which it is situated. 2. All crystalline solids do not contain vacancies and, it is possible to create such a material that is free of these defects. 3. Impurity point defects are found in solid solutions, of which there are two types: Substitutional and interstitial.  Which of the above statements is/are correct?
The activation for the climb is equal to _____ where; Uj = Activation for nucleation of jog Uv = Activation for formation of the vacancy Um = Activation for formation of the self diffusion Ui = Activation for formation of the interstitial diffusion

Two boats go downstream from point X to Y. The faster boat covers the distance from X to Y, 1.5 times as fast as slower boat. It is known that for every hour slower boat lags behinds the faster boat by 8 km. however, if they go upstream, then the faster boat covers the distance from Y to X in half the time as the slower boat. Find the speed of the faster boat in still water?
