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

A

`X_8Y`

B

`X_2Y`

C

`XY`

D

`XY_8`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
no of atoms of x ` = 8 xx 1/8 = 1`
no of atoms of `y = 1 xx 1 = 1`
Formula = xy
