A compound is formed by elements A and B. This crystallises in the cubic structure where the A atoms are at the corers of the cube and B atoms are at the body centres. The simplest formula of the compound is
AB
A6B
A8B4
AB6
A.
AB
Since A atoms are present at the corners of the cube,
Number of A atoms per unit cell = 8
Number of B atoms per unit cell =1
(∴ present at the body centre of the cube)
Hence, the formula of the compound = AB
A compound of 'A' and 'B' crystallises in a cubic lattice in which 'A' atoms occupy the lattice points at the corners of the cube. The 'B' atoms occupy the centre of each face of the cube. The probable empirical formula of the compound is
