Q1 / 125 · BITSAT 2019 · Chemistry

In a compound, atoms of elements Y form ccp lattice and those of element X occupy 2/3 rd of tetrahedral voids. The formula of the compound can be

  • Correct answer
    A
    X4Y3
  • B
    X2Y3
  • C
    X2Y
  • D
    X3Y4

Solution

Let atoms of Y in ccp structure =100

Then, number of tetrahedral voids =2×100

∵ Number of X atoms =23 rd of tetrahedral voids

∴ Number of X atoms =23×200=4003

Hence, formula of compound can be =X4Y3.

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