Question

A compound is formed by 2 elements x and y atoms of element y make ccp and those of element x occupy all tetrahedral voids what is formula

Answer 1

Explanation:

No. of Y (ccp) = 4 No. of X (octahedral void) = 4 X : Y = 4 : 4 XYRead more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/14303/a-compound-is-formed-by-two-elements-x-and-y

Answer 2

${\huge{\underline{\underline{\mathcal{\red{♡ANSWER♡}}}}}}$

• ⭐.. The ${ccp}$ lattice is formed by the element ${Y}$.
• ⭐.. The number of octahedral voids generated would be equal to the number of atoms of ${Y}$ presebt in it.
• ⭐..Since all the octahedral voids are occupied by the atoms of ${X}$ their number would also be equal to that of the element ${Y}$.
• ⭐... Thus, the atoms of elements${X}$and${Y}$ are present in equal number or 1:1 ratio, Therefore the formula of compound is ${XY}$.
