In a compound, atoms of elements YY form ccp lattice and those of element XX occupy 2/3rd2 / 3rd& of& tetrahedral voids. The formula of the compound can be

Options

  1. AX4Y3{X}_{4}{Y}_{3}
  2. BX2Y3{X}_{2}{Y}_{3}
  3. CX2Y{X}_{2}Y
  4. DX3Y4{X}_{3}{Y}_{4}

Correct answer

A. X4Y3{X}_{4}{Y}_{3}

Step-by-step solution

Let atoms of YY in ccp structure =100= 100

Then, number of tetrahedral voids =2×100= 2 \times 100

∵∵ Number of XX atoms =23= \dfrac{2}{3} rd of tetrahedral voids

∴∴ Number of XX atoms =23×200=4003= \dfrac{2}{3} \times 200 = \dfrac{400}{3}

Hence, formula of compound can be =X4Y3= {X}_{4}{Y}_{3}.
