    If AxBy crystallizes in an fcc lattice, with atom A occupying every corner and atom B occupying the center of each face of the unit cell, the correct
    Question

    If AxBy crystallizes in an fcc lattice, with atom A occupying every corner and atom B occupying the center of each face of the unit cell, the correct stoichiometry is

    A.

    B.

    C.

    D.

    Correct option is A

    A face-centred unit cell (F) has lattice points at its corners and also at the centres of its six faces.

    The face-centered cubic lattice (cF) has lattice points on the faces of the cube, that each gives exactly one half contribution, in addition to the corner lattice points, giving a total of four lattice points per unit cell (1⁄8 × 8 from the corners plus 1⁄2 × 6 from the faces).
