A solid compound is formed containing x ...

A solid compound is formed containing x , y and z atoms in a cubic lattice with x atoms at corners. Y atoms at body centre and z atoms at face centres. What is empirical formula of compound ?

A

`XY_(2)Z_(3)`

B

`XYZ_(3)`

C

`X_(2)T_(2)Z_(3)`

D

`X_(8)YZ_(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Atoms of X per unit cell `=(8times1)/8=1`
Atoms of Y per unit cell =1
Atoms of Z per unit cell `=6times1/2=3`
`therefore` the formula of the compound is `XYZ_(3)`
