In a unit cell, atoms `(A)` are present at all corner lattices, `(B)` are present at alternate faces and all edge centres. Atoms `(C)` are present at face centres left from `(B)` and one at each body diagonal at disntance of `1//4th` of body diagonal from corner.
A tetrad axis is passed from the given unit cell and all the atoms touching the axis are removed. The possible formula of the compound left is

A

`AB_(3)C_(6)` and `AB_(4)C_(5)`

B

`A_(3)B_(6)C_(7)` and `A_(3)B_(6)C_(5)`

C

`A_(4)B_(5)C_(8)` and `A_(4)B_(5)C_(7)`

D

`AB_(2)C` and `ABC_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Case I
If the tetrad axis passes through the face centres where `B` lies, then
Number of B atom `= 4 - (1/2 xx 2 ) = 3`
The formula of the compound left is
`AB_(3)C_(6)`.
Case II
If the tetrad axis passes through the face centres where C lies, then
Number of C atom `= 6 - (1/2 xx 2) = 5`
The forumula of compound left is `AB_(4)C_(5)`.
