The formula of the compound is C₃D₄
In a crystalline compound, atoms C occupy CCP lattices while atoms D occupy 2/3rd tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound?
Solution
Data: In CCP unit lattice points are 8 corners and 6 face centres where atoms C are present.
Number of C atoms = ⅛×8 + ½×6
=1+3=4
In cubic unit cell, there are 8 tetrahedral voids.
Number of D atoms = ⅔×8 = 16/3
The formula of the compound is C₃D₄
