A crystalline solid is made of X, Y and Z. Atoms of X are present in ccp lattice; Y occupies all the octahedral voids and Z occupies all the tetrahedral voids. If all atoms along a body diagonal are removed then the formula of solid will beA crystalline solid is made of X, Y and Z. Atoms of X are present in ccp lattice; Y occupies all the octahedral voids

Options

  1. AX5Y4Z8{X}_{5}{Y}_{4}{Z}_{8}
  2. BX8Y4Z5{X}_{8}{Y}_{4}{Z}_{5}
  3. CX2YZ2{X}_{2}Y{Z}_{2}
  4. DXYZ2XY{Z}_{2}

Correct answer

A. X5Y4Z8{X}_{5}{Y}_{4}{Z}_{8}

Step-by-step solution

A crystalline solid is made of X, Y and Z. Atoms of X are present in ccp lattice; Y occupies all the octahedral voids
Number of X-atoms in unit cell = 4
Number of Y-atoms = 4
Number of Z atoms = 8
If atoms along one body diagonal are removed then 2 from corners X, 1 from body center Y and 2 neat two corners Z atoms will be absent.
Effective number of atoms may be calculated as
X=4−2×18=154X = 4 - 2 \times \dfrac{1}{8} = \dfrac{15}{4}
Y=4−1=3Y = 4 - 1 = 3
Z=8−2=6Z = 8 - 2 = 6
Simplex ratio =X:Y:Z= X: Y: Z
=154:3:6= \dfrac{15}{4}: 3: 6
=5:4:8= 5: 4: 8
Simplest formula =X5Y4Z8= {X}_{5}{Y}_{4}{Z}_{8}.
