A body centred cubic lattice is composed of anions Q and cations P, where ions occupy the corners and ions P occupy the centre, the formula of the compound is

A

PQ

B

`PQ_(2)`

C

`P_(2)Q`

D

`PQ_(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Since anions (Q) occupy the corners of the cube,the number of ions Q per unit cell is `8times1/8=1` Since cation occupies the centre of the cube,the number of (P) ions per unit cell=1.
The formula of the compound is PQ.
