Question

in a crystal A2B3 ATOMS B ARE IN CCP ARRANGMT. & ATOMS A ARE IN TETRAHEDRAL VOIDS . THE FRACTN OF TETRAHEDRAL VOIDS ARE OCCUPIED IS ----?

Joshi sir comment

B atom forms ccp, let No. of atoms of B = 1

no. of tetrahedral voids = 2

but formula given is A2/3B

so % of voids occupied = (2/3)*100/2 = 33.34 %  

Read 1 Solution.

B forms ccp ( means fcc) hence it must contain 4 atoms , hence by equating the ratios u get , 2/3 = x/4 => x= 8/3   , which means that (8/3)/8 = 1/3 of the t. voids are occupied
