If a compound (oxide) has an $hcp$ arrangement and the cations $M$ occupy two-thirds of the octahedral voids,the formula of the compound is:

  • A
    $M_3O$
  • B
    $M_3O_2$
  • C
    $M_2O_3$
  • D
    $M_3O_4$

Which of the following metals has an $hcp$ crystal structure?

In a compound $AB_2O_4$,the oxide ions form a cubic close-packed $(CCP)$ lattice. The molar ratio of trivalent cations to bivalent cations is $2:1$. If all the bivalent ions occupy octahedral voids and trivalent ions occupy both tetrahedral and octahedral voids in equal numbers,then the fraction of octahedral voids that remain unoccupied is:
