Answer:

The molecular formula for the compound is XY.

Explanation:

Given data

A compound formed by elements X Y and Z has a cubic structure.

The x atoms are at the corner of the cube and also at alternate face centres.

To find:

the molecular formula of the compound

Solution:

It is given that Y atoms are at the corners.

Y atoms will contribute 1/8 atoms.

Now to find number of Y atoms per unit cell.

It is given by

8*1/8

= 1 atom per unit cell

The X atoms are given in the alternate faces.

Therefore they will occupy 1/2 atoms

The number of atoms per unit cell are given by

=2*1/2

=1 atom per unit cell

Hence,

The molecular formula for the compound will be XY
