Question:medium

A solid contains elements A and B. Anions of B form ccp lattice. Cations of A occupy 50% of octahedral voids and 50% of tetrahedral voids. What is the molecular formula of the solid?

Show Hint

Always remember: Number of packing atoms = \(N\) Octahedral voids = \(N\) Tetrahedral voids = \(2N\) The locations of these voids in an FCC cell are: OV at body center + edge centers; TV at body diagonals.
