Q51 / 77 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Solid State

A body centre cubic lattice is made up of two different types of atoms A and B. Atom A occupies the body centre and B occupying the corner positions. One of the corners is left unoccupied per unit cell. Empirical formula of such a solid is

  • A
    AB
  • B
    A 2 B 2
  • C
    A 5 B 7
  • Correct answer
    D
    A 8 B 7

Solution

There is one A per unit cell

Number of B per unit cell =18×7=78

Empirical formula =  A 1 B 7 8

=  A 8 B 7

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
