To find the simplest formula of the compound with A atoms at the corners and B atoms at the face centers of a unit cell, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the contribution of A atoms - In a cube (unit cell), there are 8 corners. - Each corner atom contributes \( \frac{1}{8} \) to the unit cell. - Since 2 A atoms are missing from the corners, A atoms are present at 6 corners. **Calculation:** ...
