Question

Atoms of element B form hcp lattice and those of the element A occupies 2/3 of the tetrahedral vo ids.what is the formula of compound formed by the A and B?

Answer 1

formula of compound is b3a4

Answer 2

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

• ❤.. The number of tetralhedral 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 ${A4B3}$.
