A compound formed by elements $A$ and $B$ crystallises in the cubic structure, where $A$ atoms are present at the corners of a cube and $B$ atoms are present at the face centres. The formula of the compound is
- $A_2B_2$
- $AB_3$
- $AB$
- $A_3B$
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Similarly, 5-atoms are present at face centres of a cube.
So, the number of B-atoms per unit cell
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, =6\times\frac{1}{2}=3$
Hence, the formula of compound is $A B3.$

- Two identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is \(q\) and the force of repulsion between them is \(F\). A third identical uncharged conducting sphere C is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with sphere B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (Radius of A and B are negligible compared to the distance of separation so that they can be considered as point charges) is best given as:

Solid State
Solids are substances that are featured by a definite shape, volume, and high density. In the solid-state, the composed particles are arranged in several manners. Solid-state, in simple terms, means "no moving parts." Thus solid-state electronic devices are the ones inclusive of solid components that don’t change their position. Solid is a state of matter where the composed particles are arranged close to each other. The composed particles can be either atoms, molecules, or ions.
Types of Solids:
Based on the nature of the order that is present in the arrangement of their constituent particles solids can be divided into two types;
- Amorphous solids behave the same as super cool liquids due to the arrangement of constituent particles in short-range order. They are isotropic and have a broad melting point (range is about greater than 5°C).
- Crystalline solids have a fixed shape and the constituent particles are arranged in a long-range order.
