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 be

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution

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
