  • question_answer
    In a cubic dosed packed structure of mixed oxides, the lattice is made up of oxide ions, one eighth of tetrahedral/voids are occupied by divalent ions \[({{A}^{2+}}),\] while one half of the octahedral voids are occupied by trivalent ions \[({{B}^{3+}})\]. What is the formula of the oxide?

    A) \[{{A}_{3}}{{B}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    B) \[{{A}_{2}}{{B}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) \[A{{B}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}\]

    D) \[A{{B}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Let number of oxides \[=x\]
    Number of octahedral void \[=x\]
    Number of tetrahedral void \[=2x\]
    Number of \[{{A}^{2+}}\] ion \[=\frac{1}{8}.2x=\frac{x}{4}\]
    Number of \[{{B}^{3+}}\] ion \[=\frac{x}{2}\]
    \[\begin{matrix}    {{A}^{2+}}: & {{B}^{3+}}: & {{O}^{2-}}  \\    \frac{x}{4}: & \frac{x}{2}: & x  \\    1 & 2 & 4  \\ \end{matrix}\]
    Hence, formula of oxide is \[A{{B}_{2}}{{O}_{4}}\].
