A compound is formed by two elements

X

and

Y.

Atoms of the element

Y

(as anions) make ccp and those of the element

X

(as cations) occupy all the octahedral voids.
What is the formula of the compound ?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

XY

Option A (

XY

) is correct because the number of octahedral voids in a ccp lattice is equal to the number of atoms in the lattice, leading to a 1:1 ratio between X and Y.
