A compound of elements X and Y crystallizes in cubic structure where X atoms occupy the corners of the cube and Y atoms occupy the centre of the cube. What is the formula of the compound?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Number of X atoms in the unit cell=`8(1//8)=1`.
Number of atoms of Y in the unit cell=`1xx1=1`.
Thus, the formula is XY.
