Question

A compound is form by two elements m and n. The atoms of elements n form ccp and atoms of m occupy 2 by 3rd of tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of this compound?

Answer 1

A compound is formed by two elements M and N. The element N forms ccp and atoms of M occupy 1/3rd of tetrahedral voids. ... Here, the number of tetrahedral voids generated is equal to twice the number of atoms of the element N. According to the question, the atoms of element M occupy 1/3rd of the tetrahedral voids.

Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{\underline{\mathcal{\red{A}\green{N}\pink{S}\orange{W}\blue{E}\purple{R}}}}$

• ❤.. The number of tetrahedral voids formed is equal to twice the number of atoms of element B and only 2/3rd of these are occupied by the atoms of element A.
• ❤..Hence the ratio of the number of atoms of A and B is ${2×(2/3):1 or 4:3}$ and the formula of the compound is ${A4B3}$.
