A solid is made up of two elements A and B. Atoms of B are in ccp arrangement, while atoms A occupy all the tetrahedral sites. The formula of the compound is `:`

A

`AB_(2)`

B

AB

C

`AB_(3)`

D

`A_(2)B`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
For each B atoms, there will be two tetrahedral sites. Since al the tetrahedral sites are occupies by A atoms, for each atom B, there will be two A atoms. Hence, formula will be `A_(2) B`
