The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the structure of the bimetallic oxide formed by elements A and B, let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the structure of element B Element B forms a cubic close-packed (CCP) structure. In a CCP lattice, the number of atoms per unit cell is 4. ### Step 2: Determine the number of octahedral and tetrahedral voids In a CCP structure: - The number of octahedral voids (OV) is equal to the number of atoms, which is 4. - The number of tetrahedral voids (TV) is double the number of atoms, which is 2 * 4 = 8. ### Step 3: Determine the number of atoms of A According to the problem, element A occupies half of the octahedral voids. Since there are 4 octahedral voids: - Number of A atoms = 1/2 * 4 = 2. ### Step 4: Determine the number of atoms of oxygen The problem states that oxygen atoms occupy all the tetrahedral voids. Since there are 8 tetrahedral voids: - Number of oxygen atoms = 8. ### Step 5: Write the empirical formula Now we can summarize the number of atoms: - A: 2 atoms - B: 4 atoms - O: 8 atoms Thus, the empirical formula of the bimetallic oxide can be written as: - A2B4O8 To simplify the formula, we can divide all the subscripts by 2: - AB2O4 ### Final Answer The structure of the bimetallic oxide is represented by the formula **AB2O4**. ---
