Hello Vanshika,
Hope you are doing well.
Here is the solution to your question:
No. of atoms Y in CCP = N
(The number of octahedral voids generated would be equal to the number of atoms of Y present in it)
No. of octahedral voids= No. of atoms of Y in CCP= N
So, No. of atoms X= N
Compound of X and Y is in the ratio of N:N, i.e. 1:1
Therefore, formula of the compound= XY
Hope this helps.
All the best!
Hello tutee,
Here is a answer for your question.
Since, atoms of Y forms CCP (cubic close packing) which is analogous to FCC (face centered cubic)
So, effective number of atoms of Y in lattice =4
Number of octahedral voids = Number of atoms forming CCP =4
So, effective number of atoms of X in the lattice =4
Now, X : Y => X : Y
Therefore, 4 : 4 ; 1 : 1
So, the formula of the compound is XY.
Hope it helps you..
