Three element `A,B,C` crystallize into a cubic solid lattice.Atoms `A` occupy the corners `B` atoms the cube centres and atom `C` the edge .The formula of the compound is

A

ABC

B

`ABC_(2)`

C

`ABC_(3)`

D

`ABC_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Number of atoms of A per unit cell `=8 xx 1/8` (at the corners) =1
Number of atoms of B per unit cell = 1 (at the centre) = 1
Number of atoms of C per unit cell `= 12 xx 1/4` (at the edge centre) = 3
So, formula of compound `ABC_(3)`
