A compound representing alloy of gold and copper crystallises in a cubic lattice in which gold atom occupy the lattice points at the corners of a cube and copper atoms occupy the centres of each of the cubic faces. Find formula of compound.

A

`AuCu`

B

`Au_(3)Cu`

C

`AuCu_(3)`

D

`AuCu_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
`(1)/(8)xx8=1Au` atom`//`unit cell`," "(1)/(2)xx6=3Cu` atoms`//`unit cell
The empirical formula is `AuCu_(3)`.
