Answer:if you want to say that a atoms are at the corners and b atoms are at face centres then the answer is ab3
Explanation:a atoms are at corners that means there are 8 a atoms.
one atom at the corner provides its 1/8th part in the unit cell,
therefore, 8*(1/8) atoms of a are there in the unit cell = 1
one atom at the face centre provides its 1/2 part in the unit cell, and there are 6 faces in the cube,
therefore, the number of b atoms in a cube = (1/2)*6 = 3
therefore, formula of compound = ab3
