The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the information given about the elements and their arrangement in the crystal structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of Element B**: - Element B forms a close-packed structure, specifically a cubic close-packed (ccp) structure. In this structure, atoms are located at the corners and the face centers of the cube. 2. **Calculate the Effective Number of Atoms for B**: - In a ccp structure, the effective number of atoms (Z) can be calculated using the formula: \[ Z = \text{Number of corner atoms} + \text{Number of face-centered atoms} \] - There are 8 corners, each contributing \( \frac{1}{8} \) of an atom, and 6 faces, each contributing \( \frac{1}{2} \) of an atom: \[ Z = 8 \times \frac{1}{8} + 6 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1 + 3 = 4 \] - Thus, the effective number of atoms for B is 4. 3. **Determine the Number of Octahedral Voids**: - The number of octahedral voids in a ccp structure is equal to the effective number of atoms: \[ \text{Number of octahedral voids} = Z = 4 \] 4. **Calculate the Number of Atoms of Element A**: - Element A occupies half of the octahedral voids: \[ \text{Number of A atoms} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Number of octahedral voids} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 = 2 \] 5. **Determine the Number of Tetrahedral Voids**: - The number of tetrahedral voids in a ccp structure is twice the effective number of atoms: \[ \text{Number of tetrahedral voids} = 2 \times Z = 2 \times 4 = 8 \] 6. **Calculate the Number of Oxygen Atoms**: - Oxygen atoms occupy all the tetrahedral voids: \[ \text{Number of O atoms} = \text{Number of tetrahedral voids} = 8 \] 7. **Establish the Ratio of A, B, and O**: - We have: - A = 2 - B = 4 - O = 8 - The ratio of A:B:O can be simplified: \[ \text{Ratio} = 2:4:8 = 1:2:4 \] 8. **Write the Formula for the Bimetallic Oxide**: - Based on the ratio, the formula for the bimetallic oxide can be written as: \[ \text{Formula} = A_1B_2O_4 \implies AB_2O_4 \] ### Final Answer: The structure of the bimetallic oxide is \( A_2B_4O_8 \).
