In BCC lattice containing \(X\) and \(Y\) type of atoms, \(X\) type of atoms are present at the corners and Y type of atoms are present at the centers. In its unit cell, if three atoms are missing in the corners, the formula of the compound is

  1. A \(\mathrm{X}_5 \mathrm{Y}_8\)
  2. B \(X_8 Y_5\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{X}_3 \mathrm{Y}_5\)
  4. D \(X_5 Y_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{X}_5 \mathrm{Y}_8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

X atom are present at the corners. Y atoms are present at the centers. Formula should be \(\mathrm{X}_{5 / 8} \mathrm{Y}_1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{X}_5 \mathrm{Y}_8\)
