A compound `M_(p)X_(q)` has cubic close packing `(ccp)` arrangement of `X`. Its unit cell structure is shown below. The empirical formula of the compound is A. MXB. `MX_2`C. `M_2X`D. `M_5X_14` |

Answer» Correct Answer - B 8 X atoms present at the cornes. Atoms contribute to 1 unit cell =`1/8xx8`=1 6 X atoms present at the face centres. Atoms contribute to 1 unit cell = `6xx1/2`=3 Total X atoms = 3+1 =4 4 M atoms present at edge centres. Atoms present in 1 unit cell `=4xx1/4=1` 1 M atom present at body centre and it contribute completely to 1 unit cell . Thus, total M atoms in one unit cell = 1+1=2 Ratio is M :X : : 2 : 4 : : 1:2 Thus, empirical formula is `MX_2` |
