Question

In a solid AB having the NaCl structure, A atoms occupy the corners of cube unit cell. If all the face centred atoms along one of the axes are removed, then resultant stoichiometry of the solid is

1.AB2

2.A2B

3.A4B3

4.A3B4

Solution

ANSWER:-
I will give you a simple explanation which make you understand easier.
EXPLANATION :-

There were 6 A atoms on the face-centres removing face-centred atoms

along one of the axes means removal of 2 A atoms.

Now, number of A atoms per unit cell

Number of B atoms per unit cell

Hence the resultant stoichiometry is A3B4.

Hope it makes you clear.
