In a cubic close packed structure structure of mixed oxides, the lattice is made of oxide ions, one eighth of tetrahedral voids are occupied by the divalent ions (A^(2+)) where one half of octahedral voids are occupied by trivalent ions (B^(3+)) . What is the formula of the oxide ?

Structure of a mixed oxide is cubic close packed (c.c.p.). The cubic unit cell of mixed oxide is composed of oxide ions. One- fourth of the tetrahedral voids are occupied by divalent metal A and the octahedral voids are occupied by a monovalent metal B. The formula of the oxide is

The well known mineral fluorite is chemically calcium fluoride. It is known that in one unit cell of this mineral there are 4 Ca^(2+) ions and 8F^(-) ions and that Ca^(2+) ions are arranged in a fcc-lattice. The F^(-) ions fill all the tetrahedral holes in the face centred cubic lattice of Ca^(2+) ions. The edge of the unit cell is 5.46 xx 10^(-8) cm in length. The density of the solid is 3.18 g cm^(-3) . Use this information to calculate Avogadro's number. (Molar mass of CaF_(2) = 78.08 g mol^(-1) )

The "OLIVINE" series of minerals consists of crystal in which Fe^(2+) and Mg^(2+) ions may substitute for each other causing susbstitutional impurity defects without changing the volume of unit cell. In "OLIVINE" series of minerals, O^(2-) ions exist as fcc with Si^(4+) occupying one-fourth of OVs and divalent metal ions occupying one-fourth of OVs and divalent metal ions occupying one-fourth of TVs . The density of "forsterite" (magnesium silicate) is 3.21 g cm^(-3) land that of "fayalite" (ferrous silicate) is 4.34 g cm^(-3) . If in "forsterite mineral" bivalent Mg^(2+) ions are to be replaced by unipositive Na^(o+) ions, and if Na^(o+) ions are occupying half of TV_(s) in fcc lattice, the arrangement of rest of the constituents is kept same, then the formula of the new solid is:
