In a solid crystal of a mixed oxide, the oxide ions constitute ccp lattice. Element 'A' occupy half — AITS & Test Series Chemistry Question
Question
In a solid crystal of a mixed oxide, the oxide ions constitute ccp lattice. Element 'A' occupy half of the octahedral voids while the element 'B' occupy 12.5% of tetrahedral voids. The formula of the oxide is…….?

Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Oxide ions constitute ccp means fcc unit cells, i.e. Number of oxide ions per unit cell = 4 Number of ‘A’ per unit cell 4 2 2 (As ‘A’ occupy half of the octahedral voids) Number of ‘B’, per unit cell
