A compound is formed by elements of X,Y and Z. Atoms of Z (anions) make FCC lattice. Atoms of X (cations) occupy all the octahedral voids. Atoms of Y (cations) occupy 13rd of the tetrahedral voids. The formula of the compound is:

  1. A X3Y2Z3
  2. B X2YZ
  3. C XY2Z
  4. D X2Y2Z
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) X3Y2Z3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In FCC lattice, there are 4 atoms per unit cell. ∴ z=4 Each atom consists of only one octahedral void. ∴ Total number of octahedral voids, x=1(4)=4. Given, Y occupies 13rdTetrahedral voids Each sphere forms 2 tetrahedral voids.…
