If three elements X, Y & Z crystallized in cubic solid lattice with X atoms at corners, Y atoms at cube centre& Z -atoms at the edges, then the formula of the compound is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Atom X is shared by 8 corners
1 atoms of Z is shared by 4 unit cells
Atom Y is present at centre of the unit cell
Hence, effective number of atoms of X per unit cell = 
Effective number of atoms of Z per unit cell = 
Effective number of atoms of Y per unit cell = 1
Hence, the formula of the compound is XYZ 3
