Answer» Solution :Atoms X and Y form bcc CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE. Atom X is present at the CORNERS of the cube Atom Y is present at the centre of the cube No of atoms of X in the unit cell `= (N_(C))/(8) = (8)/(8) =1` No of atoms of Y in the unit cell `= (N_(b))/(1) = (1)/(1) = 1` Ratio of atoms `X : Y = 1 : 1` Hence formula of the COMPOUND = XY. |
