A compound is formed by two elements M and N. The element N forms ccp and atoms of M occupy 1//3rd of tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Suppose the number of anions = x
Tetrahedral VOIDS = 2X
Number of cation `=(1)/(3)xx2x =(2x)/(3)`
`("Number of cations")/("Number of anions")=(2x// 3)/(x)=(2)/(3)`
HENCE, the FORMULA of compound is `M_(2)N_(3)`.
