Element 'B' forms ccp structure and 'A' occupies half of the octahedral voids, while oxygen atoms occupy all the tetrahedral voids, The structure of bimetallic oxide is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A AB2O4
  • B A2BO4
  • C A4B2O
  • D A2B2O

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

We know, for cubic unit cell, only FCC has octahedral and tetrahedral voids.

B forms ccp structure means B forms FCC structure.

For FCC, z = 4

We know for octahedral voids z = 4. In this lattice, A present in half of octahedral voids.

∴ For A, z = 2

For tetrahedral voids, 2z = 8. In this lattice, oxygen present in all the tetrahedral voids.

∴ Simplest formula :

A4×12B4O8

= A2B4O8

= AB2O4
