A compound is formed by elements `A` and `B`. This crystallises in the cubic structure when atoms `A` are at the corners of the cube and atoms `B` are at the centre of the body.The simplest formula of the compound is

A

`AB`

B

`AB_(2)`

C

`A_(2)B`

D

`AB_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1
Exclusive contribution atoms `A` per unit cell `=8xx1//8=1`
Exclusive contribution of atoms `B` per unit cell `=1xx1=1`
Thus the empiritical fourmula is `AB`.
