A compound of formula A2B3 has the hcp lattice. Which atom forms the hcp lattice and what fraction of tetrahedral voids is occupied by the other atoms(1) hcp lattice - A, 1/3 Tetrahedral voids - B (2) hcp lattice - A, 2/3 Tetrahedral voids - B (3) hcp lattice - B, 2/3 Tetrahedral voids - A (4) hcp lattice - B, 1/3 Tetrahedral voids - A

Answer»

The correct option is (4)  hcp lattice - B, 1/3 Tetrahedral voids - A

Explanation:

Let B form hcp lattice 

no. of B = 6

tetrahedral void occupied by 

A = 1/3 x 12 = 4

A4B6 or A2B3
