Atoms of element B from hcp lattice and ...

Atoms of element B from hcp lattice and those of the element A occupy 2/3rd of tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound formed by the elements A and B ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The number of tetrahedral voids formed is equal to twice the number of element B and only 2/3rd of these are occupied by the atoms of A and B is 2x(2/3):1 or 4:3 and the formula of the compound is `A_(4)B_(3)`.
