Solid State Question 33

Question: For fcc, if AB is just like the rock salt like structure then, $ {{A}^{+}} $ and $ {{B}^{-}} $ are located at -

Options:

A) $ {{A}^{+}} $ - Tetrahedral voids ; $ {{B}^{-}} $ - Corner

B) $ {{A}^{+}} $ - Corner and faces; $ {{B}^{-}} $ - Octahedral voids

C) $ {{A}^{+}} $ - Octahedral voids; $ {{B}^{-}} $ - Corner and faces

D) $ {{A}^{+}} $ - Corner and faces; $ {{B}^{-}} $ - Octahedral and tetrahedral voids

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] AB is just like $ NaCl $ . Thus twelve $ {{A}^{+}} $ are at edges and 1 within body of fcc i.e. in octahedral voids and six $ {{B}^{-}} $ at faces and 8 at corner.
