A body centre cubic lattice is made up of two different types of atoms A and B . Atom A occupies the body centre and B occupying the corner positions. One of the corners is left unoccupied per unit cell. Empirical formula of such a solid is
Options
- AA B
- BA₂ B₃
- CA₅ B₇
- DA₈ B₇
Correct answer
D. A₈ B₇
Step-by-step solution
There is one A per unit cell aligned & Number of B per unit cell = 1 8 7= 7 8 & aligned Empirical formula & =A₁ B_ 7 / 8 & =A₈ B₇ aligned aligned
