To determine the formula of the compound formed by elements A and B in a body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the BCC structure In a body-centered cubic lattice, there are a total of 2 atoms per unit cell. This is because there are 8 corners in the cube, and each corner contributes 1/8 of an atom to the unit cell, plus 1 atom located at the center of the cube. ### Step 2: Calculate the contribution of element A According to the problem, atoms of element A occupy 2 corners of the cube. - Contribution from A = Number of corners occupied × Contribution per corner ...
