The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
A compound is formed by two elements M and N.The element N forms ccp and atoms of M occupy 1/3rd oftetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound?
The ccp lattice is formed bythe atoms of the element N.
Here, the number of tetrahedral voids generatedis equal to twice the number of atoms of the element N.
According to the question, the atoms of element M occupyof the tetrahedral voids.
of atoms of N.
Thus, the formula of the compound is M2 N3.
