A compound formed by elements X and Y crysstallixzes in the cubic struture where Y atoms are at the corners of the cube and X atoms are at the alterante faces. What is the formula of the compound. ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Formula `= XY`
There are two alternate faces of a cube
a. Face centre share `= 2 xx (1)/(2) = 1`
b. Corner share `= 8 xx (1)/(8) = 1`
`:.` Formula `= XY`
