A compound contains two types of atoms X and Y. It crystallizes in a cubic lattice with atom X at the corners of the unit cell and atom Y at the body centres. The simplest possible formula of this compound is

A

`X_()3)Y`

B

`X_(2)Y`

C

XY

D

`XY_(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
X atoms per unit cell =`1//8times8=1`
Y atoms per unit cell =1
`therefore` formula of compound :XY
