A compound is formed by elements A and B...

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

`A_(6)B`

C

`A_(8)B_(4)`

D

`AB_(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since A atoms are present at the corners of the cube, Number of A atoms per unit cell
`8xx (1)/(8)` =1
Number of B atoms per unit cell = 1 `" " ( because` Present at the body centre of the cube)
Hence, the formula of the compound = AB
