A compound is formed by two elements A and B. The elements B forms cubic close packed structure and atoms of A occupy 1/3 of tetrahedral voids. If the formula of the compound is A then the value of x + y is:
5
4
3
2
To solve this problem, we need to determine the formula of the compound formed by elements A and B.Given:⢠Element B forms a cubic close-packed (ccp) structure.⢠Atoms of A occupy of the tetrahedral voids.In a cubic close-packed structure:⢠The number of atoms per unit cell of B is 4.⢠The number of tetrahedral voids per unit cell is twice the number of atoms, which is 8.Since atoms of A occupy of the tetrahedral voids:⢠Number of A atoms per unit cell The formula of the compound is To find the ratio of A to B:⢠Number of B atoms per unit cell ⢠Number of A atoms per unit cell The ratio of A to B is:Thus, the formula of the compound is The value of is:Therefore, the value of is 5, which corresponds to Option 1.
