A compound formed by two elements M and ...

A compound formed by two elements `M` and `N`. Element `N` forms ccp and atoms of `M` occupy `1//3rd` of tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of th compound?

A

`Y_2Z_3`

B

`YZ`

C

`YZ_3`

D

`Y_2Z`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Suppose no. of atoms of Z =a
No. of tetrahedral voids = 2a
No. of atoms of Y =`1/3xx2a="2a"/3`
Ratio of atoms of Y and Z =`(2a)/3`:a=2:3
Hence, the formula of the compound =`Y_2Z_3`
