A compound is formed by two elements `X` and `Y`. Atoms of the element `Y` (as anion) make ccp and those of element `X` (as cation) occupy all the octahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`XY`
Suppose number of atoms of Y is ccp = N
No. of octahedral voids = N
No. of atoms of X = N
Formula : XY
