A cubic solid has PQR atoms.P is in fcc,Q is all tetra hedral void and R in all octa hedral void.what is the formula?
Hello,
In FCC unit cell, no. of atoms present = 4, therefore no. of atoms of P = 4
Number of octahedral voids present = 4, therefore no. of atoms of Q = 4
Number of tetrahedral voids present = 2 * Number of octahedral voids = 2 * 4 = 8, therefore no. of atoms of R = 8
Now, P:Q:R = 4:4:8
= P:Q:R = 1:1:2
Therefore, formula of the compound is: PQR2 (Answer)
