Question

A compound is formed by elements A and B. this crystallizes in the cubic structure when atoms A are at the corners of the cube and atoms B are at the centre of the body. The simplest formula of the compound is

Solution

Correct option is

AB

A atom are at eight corners of the cube. Therefore, the number of A atoms in the unit cell = 8/8 = 1, atoms B per unit cell = 1, Hence, the formula is AB.
