As the molecule is having FCC structure,therefore let the formula of the compound be AxBy no of atom of A=1/8*8=1 number of atom of B=6*1/2 -1/2=5/2,As one atom is missing and ,where the contribution of each atom in FCC is ½. Thus the formula is A1B5/2 or A2B5

Dear student,
Please find the solution to your problem below.
Let the formula of the compound be AxBy
no of atoms of A = 1/8*8 = 1
number of atom of B = 6*1/2 –1/2=5/2
Hence, The Molecular formula is A1B5/2 or A2B5
Thanks and regards,
