The structure of a mixed oxide is cubic close packed $(ccp)$. The cubic unit cell of the mixed oxide is composed of oxide ions. One-fourth of the tetrahedral voids are occupied by divalent metal $A$ and the octahedral voids are occupied by a monovalent metal $B$. The formula of the oxide is:

  • A
    $ABO_2$
  • B
    $A_2BO_2$
  • C
    $A_2B_3O_4$
  • D
    $AB_2O_2$
