In a close-packed structure of mixed oxides,the lattice is composed of oxide ions. One-eighth of the tetrahedral voids are occupied by divalent cations $(A^{2+})$,while one-half of the octahedral voids are occupied by trivalent cations $(B^{3+})$. The formula of the mixed oxide is:

  • A
    $A_2BO_3$
  • B
    $AB_2O_3$
  • C
    $A_2BO_4$
  • D
    $AB_2O_4$
