A compound is formed by two elements X and Y. Atoms of the element Y (as anions) mae ccp and those of the element X(as cations) occupy all the octahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The ccp lattice is formed by the element Y . The number of octahedral voids generated would be equal to the number of atoms of Y present in it Since of X, their number would also be equal to that of the element Y. thus, the atoms of elements X and Y are present in equal numbers or 1:1 ratio Therefore, the formula of the compound is XY.
