A solid is formed of two different elements, A and B. In this atoms of A are arranged in the CCP array, and atoms of B occupy all octahedral voids and half of tetrahedral voids. Find the formula of the solid.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
In a CCP lattice, the number of atoms per unit cell is .
Number of atoms of A
The number of octahedral voids is equal to the number of atoms in the lattice, which is .
The number of tetrahedral voids is twice the number of atoms in the lattice, which is .
Atoms of B occupy all octahedral voids and half of the tetrahedral voids.
Number of atoms of B
The ratio of atoms of A to atoms of B is .
The formula of the solid is .
