A solid is made of two element X and Y ....

A solid is made of two element `X` and `Y` .The atoms `Z` are in `C CP` arrangement while the atoms `X` occupy all the terahedral sites .What is the formula of the compound ?

A

`PO_(2)`

B

`P_(2)O`

C

`PO`

D

`P_(2)O_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

Four atoms `(P)` contribute in one unit cell from ccp arrangement and `4` atoms `(Q)` from the all stratetral void contributes one unit cell
So, formula of solid ids` P_(4)Q_(8)` so , the simples formulas of the solid is `PQ_(3)`
