Expert Answer:
it is given that, A occupies corners and face center of unit cell and it's like NaCl structure.. When no atoms is removed then ,
number of atoms of A in the unit cell = (1/8 * 8) + (1/2* 6) = 4
Number of atoms of B which occupies octahedral voids = 1+ ( 1/4 * 12) = 4
Therefore formula = A4B4 = AB ( Like NaCl)
number of atoms of A in the unit cell = (1/8 * 8) + (1/2* 6) = 4
Number of atoms of B which occupies octahedral voids = 1+ ( 1/4 * 12) = 4
Therefore formula = A4B4 = AB ( Like NaCl)
