In a face centred cubic arrangement of \( A \) and \( B \) atoms in which 'A' atoms are at the corners of
the unit cell and 'B' atoms are at the face centers. One of the 'A' atom is missing from one
corner in unit cell.the simplest formula of the compound is

  1. A \( A_{7} B_{24} \)
  2. B \( A_{7} B_{8} \)
  3. C \( A B_{3} \)
  4. D \( A_{7} B_{3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( A_{7} B_{24} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the given crystal lattice, Atoms of \( A=7 \times \frac{1}{8}=\frac{7}{8} \)
Atom of \( B=6 \times \frac{1}{2}=3 \)
Therefore, the formula is \( \mathrm{A}_{7 / 8} \mathrm{~B}_{3} \) or \( \mathrm{A}_{7} \mathrm{~B}_{24} \)
