A solid is made of two elements XX and ZZ. The atoms ZZ are in ccp arrangement while the atom XX occupy all the tetrahedral sites. What is the formula of the compound?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
X2Z{X_2}Z
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.
