In a compound, oxide ions are arranged in cubic close packing arrangement. Cations A occupy one-sixth of the tetrahedral voids and cations B occupy one-third of the octahedral voids. The formula of the compound is A x B y O z , then find the value of x + y + z.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
5 = (1 + 1 + 3)
Sol. No. of oxide ions = 4
No. of A particles= 
= 
No. of B particles = 
= 
So formula is A 4/3 B 4/3 O 4 or ABO 3
ABO 3 = x + y + z = 1 + 1 + 3 = 5
