MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question
Not in JEE Main or NEET syllabus
In ionic solid, anions are arranged in hcp array and cations occupy ½ tetrahedral voids. What is the formula of ionic compound ? [Consider A = Cation ; B = anion]
Answer: (B)
Solution
Take anions (B) in the hcp lattice. The number of tetrahedral voids is twice the number of packing atoms, so there are tetrahedral voids. Cations (A) occupy half of them: number of A . Therefore the ratio A : B
