In a face centred cubic lattice, atom A ...

In a face centred cubic lattice, atom A occupies the corner positions and atom B occupies the face centre positions. If one atom of B is missing from one of the face centred points, the formula of the compound is `:`

A

`A_(2) B_(3)`

B

`A_(2) B_(5)`

C

`A_(2)B`

D

`AB_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
No. of .A. atoms at corners `= 8 xx ( 1)/( 8 ) =1 `
No. of .B. atoms at face centres `= 5 xx ( 1)/( 2) = ( 5)/( 2)`
Formula `=A_(1) B_(5//2) ` or `A_(2) B_(5)`
