The unit cell of a binary compound of A and B metals has a ccp structure with A atoms occupying the corners and B atoms occupying the centres of each faces of the cubic unit cell. If during the crystallisation of this alloy, in the unit cell two A atoms are missed, the overall composition per unit cell is ..............(A) AB6(B) AB4(C) AB8(D) A6B24 |
|
Answer» Correct answer is: (B) AB4 Number of atoms of A = 6\(\times\cfrac{1}{8}=\cfrac{3}{4}\) Number of atoms of B = 6 \(\times\cfrac{1}{2}\) = 3 A : B =\(\cfrac{3}{4}\) : 3 = 1 : 4 \(\therefore\) Composition of alloy = AB4 |
