Ferrous oxide has a cubic structure and each edge of the unit cell is $5.0 \ \mathring{A}$. Assuming the density of the oxide is $4.0 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,the number of $Fe^{2+}$ and $O^{2-}$ ions present in each unit cell will be:

  • A
    Four $Fe^{2+}$ and four $O^{2-}$
  • B
    Two $Fe^{2+}$ and four $O^{2-}$
  • C
    Four $Fe^{2+}$ and two $O^{2-}$
  • D
    Three $Fe^{2+}$ and three $O^{2-}$
