A compund is made of two elements `P` and `Q` are in `ccp` arrangement while atoms `P` occupy all the tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of the compound?A. PQB. `PO_(2)`C. `P_(2)Q`D. `P_(3)Q`

Answer» (c ) Suppose number of atoms Q in the ccp arrangement=100 Then, number of tetrahedral sites=200 As all the tetrahedral sites are occupied by atoms P, therefore their number=200 Hence, ratio P:Q=2:1 i.e. the formula is `P_(2)Q`.
