    A solid has a structure in which W atoms are located at the corners of a cubic lattice, O atoms at the centre of edges and Na atom at centre of the cube. The formula for the compound is

    A)  \[NaW{{O}_{2}}\]              

    B)  \[NaW{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[N{{a}_{2}}W{{O}_{3}}\]          

    D)  \[NaW{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In a unit cell W atoms at the corner \[=\frac{1}{8}\times 8=1\] O atoms at the centre of edges \[=\frac{1}{4}\times 12=3\] Na atoms at the centre of the cube = 1 \[W:O:Na=1:3:1\] Hence the formula of the compound is \[NaW{{O}_{3}}\]
