A solid is made of two elements and . The atoms are in ccp arrangement while the atom occupy all the tetrahedral sites. What is the formula of the compound?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Option C is correct because in a ccp arrangement, there is one atom per lattice point, and the number of tetrahedral sites is twice the number of atoms. Therefore, if Z atoms are in ccp, there are 2Z tetrahedral sites occupied by X atoms, resulting in the formula X2Z.
