Answer» Correct Answer - D To solve such problems follow the following steps Setp I: Find the number of tetrahedral voids as number of tetrahedral voids `=2xx` number of atoms present in the lattice. Setp II: Calculate the number of atoms(or ratio ) of elements M and N as a chemical formula represents the number of atoms of different elements present in a compound. Derive the formula . Suppose atoms of element N present in ccp = x Then number of tetrahedral voids `=2xx` Since `(1)/(3)` rd of the tetrahedral voids are occupied by atoms of element M. Therefore, number of atoms of element `M=(1)/(3)xx2x xx(2x)/(3)` Ratio of `M:N=(2x)/(3):x=2:3` |
