Non-stoichiometric compounds are materials that do not conform to a fixed ratio of their constituent elements, meaning their composition can vary between certain limits. Unlike stoichiometric compounds, which have a well-defined, consistent chemical formula (e.g., water \(H_2O\) or sodium chloride \(NaCl\)), non-stoichiometric compounds can have varying amounts of one or more elements, leading to different properties.
