A binary solid (A+B-) has a zinc blend structure with B- ion constituting the lattice and A+ion occupying the 25% tetrahedral voids. The formula of solid is _________
Open in App
Solution
Let no. of unit cells = n.Then , no of Tetrahedral voids = 2n . 25% ot this = 2n/4 = n/2. So the required formula is An/2Bn or AB2 .
