Detailed Solution

(O-2) Oxide ions in ccp = 4

(A)No. of tetrahedral voids = 2n =2(4) =8

1/6 of tetrahedral voids = 1/6 ×8 = 43

(B)No of octahedral voids = n =4

1/2 of otahedral voids = 1/2 ×4 = 2

A :B :O-2 =43 :2 :4

               = 4 :6:12

               =2 :3 :6

The formula of the oxide is A2B3O6
