  • In a cubic close packed structure(ccp) of mixed oxide, it is found that lattice has O2- ions and one half of the octahedral voids are occupied by trivalent cations (X3+)

In a cubic close packed structure(ccp) of mixed oxide, it is found that lattice has O2- ions and one half of the octahedral voids are occupied by trivalent cations (X3+) and one eighth of the tetrahedral voids are occupied by divalent cations (Y2+). What is the formula of the mixed oxide? 

Option: 1

XYO_4


Option: 2

X_2YO_2


Option: 3

XY_2O_4


Option: 4

X_2YO_4

We have:

For ccp, we know:

Number of  Oxide ions = 4

We know that in any closed packed structure consisting of n atoms, the number of Octahedral voids is n while the number of Tetrahedral voids is equal to 2n

\therefore Number of trivalent ions in octahedral voids =\frac{1}{2}\times4=2

Similarly, number of divalent ions in tetrahedral voids =\frac{1}{8}\times8=1

Thus the formula is  X_2YO_4

Therefore, ?Option(4) is correct
