In a face centered cubic lattice atoms A are at the corner points and atoms B at the face centered points. If atom B is missing from one of the face centered points, the formula of the ionic compound is :
Options
- AA 2 B 3
- BAB 2
- CA 5 B 2
- DA 2 B 5
Correct answer
D. A 2 B 5
Step-by-step solution
A atoms at corners = 8 × 1 8 =  A (one atom) B atom is missing at One face centre then will present at 5 faces At face centre atom contribute 1/2 part Number of B atom at Face centre = 5 × 1 2 (B atom) So formula of compound = A 2 B 5
