Question

atoms of element b form hcp lattice and those of the element a occupy 2/3 rd of tetrahedral voids.what is the formula of the compound

Answer 1

ghyPut a metal spoon in some boiling water for thirty minutes and then try to take it out with your bare hands.

No seriously, don’t do it, you’ll probably get a nasty burn. The simple reason is that metal is a very good conductor of heat and would soak up the heat from a frying pan, boiling water, hot oil etc like a sponge

• ❤.. 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 ${A4B3}$.
