Q21 / 77 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Solid State
In a cubic packed structure of mixed oxides, the lattice is made up of oxide ions, one fifth of tetrahedral voids one occupied by X ions while one half of the octahedral voids are occupied by Y ions. Then formula of the oxide will be
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Number of ions = n
Number of tetrahedral voids = 2n
Number of octahedral voids = n
Number of X ions
Number of Y ions
Simplest formula .
Number of tetrahedral voids = 2n
Number of octahedral voids = n
Number of X ions
Number of Y ions
Simplest formula .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
