Atoms of elements B from hcp lattice and...

Atoms of elements `B` from hcp lattice and those of element `A` occupy two-thirds of tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound formed by elements `A` and `B`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the formula of the compound formed by elements A and B, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the HCP Structure Element B forms a hexagonal close-packed (HCP) lattice. In an HCP lattice, there are a total of 6 atoms per unit cell. ### Step 2: Calculate the Number of Atoms in HCP In an HCP lattice: - There are 12 corner atoms, each contributing \( \frac{1}{6} \) to the unit cell. ...
