    A compound of formula \[{{A}_{2}}{{B}_{3}}\] has the hcp lattice. Which atom forms the hcp lattice and what fraction of tetrahedral voids is occupied by the other atoms: [JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 10-Jan-2019 Evening]

    A) hcp lattice - A, \[\frac{1}{3}\] Tetrahedral voids - B

    B) hcp lattice - B, \[\frac{1}{3}\] Tetrahedral voids - A

    C) hcp lattice - A, \[\frac{2}{3}\] Tetrahedral voids - B

    D) hcp lattice -B, \[\frac{2}{3}\] Tetrahedral voids - A

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Total effective atoms in HCP unit cell = 6 Total no. of tetrahedral voids = 12 If B is placed at HCP lattice points then \[\frac{1}{3}\] of tetrahedral voids will be occupied by A. So the general formulae becomes\[{{A}_{2}}{{B}_{3}}\].
