Question Paper from: IIT JEE Main 2021 TestSeries Paper 2

In a compound, XY2O4 oxide ions are arranged in CCP structure. Cation X is present in the octahedral void and cation Y is equally distributed between octahedral and tetrahedral voids. The fraction of the octahedral voids occupied are

1:

2:

3:

4:

Solution:
Chapter Name: Solid State
Difficulty Level: Moderate

The unit cell of CCP is FCC

No of oxide ions = 4

No of T.V =

No of O.V = 4

According to formula, No of cations X present per unit cell = 1

No of cations Y present per unit cell = 2

Since, Y are equally distributed in O.V and T.V (i.e)

One Y cation in O.V and other Y cation in T.V

Total number of O.V captured = 1 + 1 = 2

X is also present in O.V fraction of O.V occupied =
