1.	A compound contains two types of atoms X and Y. It crystallizes in a cubic lattice with atom X at the corners of the unit cell and atom Y at the body centres. The simplest possible formula of this compound is
Answer» `X_()3)Y` `X_(2)Y` XY `XY_(6)` Solution :X atoms PER unit CELL =`1//8times8=1` Y atoms per unit cell =1 `THEREFORE` formula of compound :XY
