    A solid is made of two elements P and Q. Atoms P are in ccp arrangement and atoms Q occupy all the octahedral voids and half of the tetrahedral voids, then the simplest formula of the compound is

    A)  \[PQ{{\,}_{2}}\]                      

    B)  \[{{P}_{2}}Q\]

    C)  PQ                              

    D)  \[{{P}_{2}}{{Q}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Four atoms P contributes to one unit cell from ccp arrangement and 4 atoms Q from the all octahedral voids and 4 atoms Q from the half of the tetrahedral void contributes one unit cell. So, formula of solid is \[{{P}_{4}}{{Q}_{8}}\] so, the simplest formula of the solid is \[P{{Q}_{2}}\].
