In a solid AB, A atoms are in ccp arrangement and B atoms occupy all the octahedral sites. If two atoms from the opposite faces are removed, then the resultant stoichiometry of the compound is AxBy. The value of x is ____________. [nearest integer]
Answer (integer)
3
Solution
$A$ atoms are in CCP contribution of $A$ is<br/><br/>
$A=4$<br/><br/>
If atoms from opposite faces are removed then<br/><br/>
$$
\begin{aligned}
& A=4-x \times \frac{1}{x} \\\\
& A=3
\end{aligned}
$$<br/><br/>
Value of $x=3$
