    A solid is made of two elements P and Q. A 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) \[P{{Q}_{2}}\]                     

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

    C) PQ                              

    D) \[{{P}_{2}}{{Q}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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