The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Number of $W$ atoms present at each corner
$ = 8 \times \frac{1}{8} = 1$
Number of $O$ atoms present at the centre of edges
$ = 12 \times \frac{1}{4} = 3$
Number of $Na$ atoms present at the centre of cube $= 1$
$\therefore$ Formula of cube $= WO_3Na$ or $NaWO_3$

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.
