    An alloy of Cu, Ag, Au is found to have a simple cubic close packed lattice. If the Ag atoms occupy the face centres and Au is present at the body centre, the formula of the alloy will be

    A) \[C{{u}_{4}}A{{g}_{4}}Au\]

    B)  \[CuA{{g}_{3}}Au\]

    C)  \[cuAgCu\]

    D)  \[C{{u}_{4}}A{{g}_{2}}Au\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Cu atoms are at eight comers of the cube. Therefore, the number of Cu atoms in the unit cell \[=\frac{8}{8}=1\] Au atoms are at the face-centre of six faces. Therefore, its share in the unit cell \[=\frac{6}{2}=3\] At atoms are at the body centres, so the number of Au atom =1 \[\therefore \]The formula of the alloy is\[\text{CuA}{{\text{g}}_{\text{3}}}\text{Au}\text{.}\]
