A compound is formed by two elements M and N. The element N forms ccp and atoms of M occupy 1//3 rd of the tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound ?

Answer»

Solution :Suppose the atoms N in the CCP = n
`therefore"No. of tetrahedral voids = 2N"`
As `1//3` rd of the tetrahedral voids are occupied by atoms M, therefore,
`"No. of atomsM"=(2n)/(3):n=2:3`
HENCE, the formula is `M_(2)N_(3)`
