To determine the composition of the alloy made up of metals X and Y, we need to analyze the arrangement of the atoms and the voids in the cubic close-packed (ccp) structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the ccp Arrangement**: - In a cubic close-packed (ccp) arrangement, the number of atoms per unit cell (denoted as Z) is 4. This means that in one unit cell of the ccp structure, there are 4 atoms of metal X. 2. **Calculating the Number of Tetrahedral and Octahedral Voids**: ...
