A compound is formed by two elements X and Y.
Atoms of 'Y' make ccp and those of element 'X' occupy tetrahedral voids.
The formula of the compound is:

  1. A XY
  2. B \(\text{X}_2\text{Y}\)
  3. C \(\text{XY}_2\)
  4. D \(\text{X}_2\text{Y}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\text{X}_2\text{Y}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Number of Y atoms (ccp) = 4 Number of tetrahedral voids = \( 2 \times 4 = 8 \) Number of X atoms = 8 Ratio X:Y = \( 8:4 = 2:1 \) Formula: \( \text{X}_2\text{Y} \)
