In a compound oxide ion have ccp arrangement, cations A are present in 1 8 of the tetrahedral voids and cations B occupy 1 2 of the octahedral voids. What are the formula of the compound?
Options
- AA 2 B O 4
- BA B 2 O 4
- CA B O 2
- DA 2 B O 2
Correct answer
B. A B 2 O 4
Step-by-step solution
Oxide ions are forming the lattice Effective number of oxide ions = 4 c c p ∴ Tetrahedral voids = 2 × 4 = 8 And effective number of A atom = 1 8 × 8 = 1 Number of octahedral voids = 4 Effective number of B atom = 1 2 × 4 = 2 ∴ Molecular formulae = A B 2 O 4
