A compound is formed by two elements P and Q. Atoms of the element Q (anions) make hcp lattice and those of element P (cations) occupies \(\frac{1}{8}\)th of the tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound?
- A \(PQ_4\)
- B \(PQ\)
- C \(PQ_2\)
- D \(P_3Q_2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(PQ_4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Number of Q atoms (hcp) = \(6\) Number of tetrahedral voids = \(2 \times 6 = 12\) Number of P atoms = \(\frac{1}{8} \times 12 = \frac{3}{2}\) Ratio P:Q = \(\frac{3}{2} : 6 = 3 : 12 = 1 : 4\) Formula of compound = \(PQ_4\)

- p-block elements are placed in groups 13 to 18 of the periodic table. Group 15 is nitrogen family. Nitrogen makes various compounds like \(NH _3, HNO _3, N_2 O , NO _2\) etc. Phosphorus exists in the form of white and red phosphorus. White phosphorus glows in dark. \(PH _3\) gas is used as smoke screen. Group 16 is called oxygen family. Dry air contains \(21\% O _2\) gas by volume. Combined sulphur exists as sulphates such as gypsum, epsome salt, baryte etc. The allotropic forms of sulphur are Rhombic and monoclinic sulphur. \(S_2\) is paramagnetic like \(O_2\) and it stable at high temperature.
Group 17 is Halogen family. \(F_2\) is highly reactive, \(C l_2\) is greenish yellow gas. Both \(S O_2\) and \(C l_2\) are used for bleaching. Group 18 is Noble gas family but some noble gases also form compounds.

The sex linked recessive disease, which shows its transmission from unaffected carrier female to some of the male progeny has been widely studied. In this disease, a single protein that is a part of the cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected. Due to this in an affected individual a simple cut will result in non-stop bleeding. The heterozygous female (carrier) for the disease may transmit it to sons. The possibility of a female becoming a sufferer of disease is extremely rare because mother of such a female has to be at least carrier and the father should be sufferer. The family pedigree of Queen Victoria shows a number of suffering descendents as she was a carrier of the disease.
