In a cubic-close packed structure containing \(\mathrm{X}, \mathrm{Y}\) and \(\mathrm{Z}\) atoms, if \(\mathrm{Z}\) occupies all the face centers, \(\mathrm{X}\) occupies all the corners and \(\mathrm{Y}\) occupies the body center of the cube, what is the formula of this compound?

  • A
    \(\mathrm{XYZ}_2\)
  • B
    \(\mathrm{X}_2 \mathrm{YZ}_3\)
  • C
    \(\mathrm{X}_8 \mathrm{YZ}_6\)
  • Correct answer
    D
