A binary solid`(A^(+) B^(-))` has a zinc blende stracture with B ions constituting the lattice and `A^(+)` inos occupying `25%` of the terahedral holes. The formula of the solid is

A

AB

B

`A_(2)B`

C

`AB_(2)`

D

`AB_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`B^(-)` ions in the unit cell `=8xx(1)/(8)+6xx(1)/(2)=4`
`A^(+)` ions occupy 25% of the tetrahedral holes `=(8xx25)/(100)=2`
Thus formula is `A_(2)B_(4)orAB_(2)`
