A compound formed by elements \( P \) and \( Q \) crystallises in a cubic lattice where \( P \) atoms are at the corners and \( Q \) atoms are all face centres of the cube. Formula of the compound is |
|
Answer» As we know, The contribution of corner atom per unit cell = 1/8. and The contribution of face centres atom per unit cell =1/2 \(\therefore\) Number of P atoms per unit cell = 8 x 1/8 \(\therefore\) Number of Q atoms per unit cell = 6 x 1/2 = 3 Therefore, the formula of compound will be PQ3. |
