A solid is made up of two elements P and Q. P atoms are in ccp arrangement while atoms Q occupy all the octahedral voids and half of the tetrahedral voids. The formula of the compound is `:`

A

`PQ_(2)`

B

PQ

C

`PQ_(3)`

D

`P_(2)Q`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For each Q atom, there will be two tetrahedral sites. Since only half tetrahedral sites are occupies, number of P atoms will be same as number of Q atoms . Formula `:` PQ
