    A solid is formed by two elements P and Q The element Q forms cubic close packing and the atoms of P occupy one third of the tetrahedral voids The formula of the compound is

    A) \[{{P}_{3}}Q\]                                 

    B) \[{{P}_{2}}{{Q}_{3}}\]

    C) \[{{P}_{3}}{{Q}_{2}}\]                 

    D) \[P{{Q}_{3}}\]   

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let octahedral voids \[=x=\] Number of atoms of Q. So, tetrahedral voids \[=2x.\] Number of atoms of \[P=\frac{1}{3}\times 2x=\frac{2}{3}x\] \[P:Q=\frac{2}{3}x:x=2:3\] Formula \[={{P}_{2}}{{Q}_{3}}\] Hence, the correct option is [b].
