In a solid AB,AAB, A atoms are in ccpccp arrangement and BB atoms occupy all the octahedral sites. If two atoms from the opposite faces are removed, then the resultant stoichiometry of the compound is AxBy{A}_{x}{B}_{y}. The value of xx is [nearest integer]

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

AAforms ccp structure that means number of AA atoms per unit cell →4\to 4

BB atoms per unit cell →4\to 4 (Octahedral voids), as number of octahedral voids will be equal to number of atoms per unit cell.

AA removed =2×12=1= 2 \times \dfrac{1}{2} = 1

AA left =4−1=3= 4 - 1 = 3

Formula becomes A3B4{A}_{3}{B}_{4}

x=3x = 3.
