The ccp lattice is formed by the element N. The number of tetrahedrls voids is expected to be twice the number of atoms of N. However, only 1/3rd of these holes are occupied i.e., 2/3 voids are occupied by the atoms of the element M. Thus, the atoms of the elements N and M are present in the ratio. `=1:2//3 or 3:2`.
Therefore, the formula of the compound is `N_(3)M_(2)`.
