A compound formed by two elements `M` and `N`. Element `N` forms ccp and atoms of `M` occupy `1//3rd` of tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of th compound?A. `Y_2Z_3`B. `YZ`C. `YZ_3`D. `Y_2Z`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Suppose no. of atoms of Z =a
No. of tetrahedral voids = 2a
No. of atoms of Y =`1/3xx2a="2a"/3`
Ratio of atoms of Y and Z =`(2a)/3`:a=2:3
Hence, the formula of the compound =`Y_2Z_3`
