In the structure of a solid, \(\mathrm{W}\) atoms are located at the cube corners of the unit cell, \(\mathrm{O}\) atoms are located at the cube edges and \(\mathrm{Na}\) atoms at the cube centres. The formula of the compound is

  1. A \(\mathrm{Na} \mathrm{WO}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Na} \mathrm{WO}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~W}_2 \mathrm{O}_2\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{WO}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Na} \mathrm{WO}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Contribution of \(\mathrm{W}\) atoms to the unit cell \(=8 \times \frac{1}{8}=1\) Contribution of \(\mathrm{O}\) atoms to the unit cell \(=12 \times \frac{1}{4}=3\) Contribution of \(\mathrm{Na}\) atoms to the unit cell \(=1\) Thus, the formula of the compound will be…
