Consider a hypothetical compound in which the anions (0--) make an FCC unit cell. Two types of cations are also present. The first type of cation (A) occupies of the octahedra sites and the second type of cation (B) occupies on the tetrahedral sites. What would be the chemical formula for this compound? Comment on how realistic it is of this many octahedral and tetrahedral sites to be occupied simultaneously.
