A compound formed by two elements A and ...

A compound formed by two elements A and B crystallizers in the cubic structure. Atomic B are present at the corners of the cube and atoms A at the centre of opposite faces. What is the formula of the compound ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Per Unit Cell,
Number of atoms of element `B=8xx1/(8)=1`
Number of atoms on two opposite faces of cube`=2xx1/(2)=1`
`therefore` Formula of Compound = AB.
