A crystal is made up of metal ions ′M1′' {M}_{1} ' and ′M2′' {M}_{2} ' and oxide ions. Oxide ions form a ccp lattice structure. The cation ′M1′' {M}_{1} ' occupies 5050 % of octahedral voids and the cation ′M2′' {M}_{2} ' occupies 12.512 . 5 % of tetrahedral voids of oxide lattice. The oxidation numbers of ′M1′' {M}_{1} ' and ′M2′' {M}_{2} ' are respectively :

Options

  1. A+2,+4+ 2, + 4
  2. B+1,+3+ 1, + 3
  3. C+3,+1+ 3, + 1
  4. D+4,+2+ 4, + 2

Correct answer

A. +2,+4+ 2, + 4

Step-by-step solution

In the ccp latice of oxide ions effective number of O−2ions{O}^{- 2}ions =8×18+6×12=4= 8 \times \dfrac{1}{8} + 6 \times \dfrac{1}{2} = 4

In the ccp latice,

No. of octahedral voids =4= 4

No. of tetrahedrla voids =8= 8

Given M1{M}_{1} atoms occupies 5050 % of octahedral voids and M2{M}_{2} atoms occupies 12.512 . 5 of tetrahederal voids

No. of M1{M}_{1} metal atoms =4×50100=2= 4 \times \dfrac{50}{100} = 2

No. of M2{M}_{2} metal atoms =8×12.5100=1= 8 \times \dfrac{12 .5}{100} = 1

∴∴ Formula of the compound =(M1)2(M2)O4= {\left({M}_{1}\right)}_{2}\left({M}_{2}\right){O}_{4}

∴∴ Oxidation states of metals M1{M}_{1} & M2{M}_{2} respectively are +2+ 2 and +4+ 4
