Answer:

Empirical formula: NbO_2

Explanation:

  • One oxide ion in the middle of each edge => cubes have 12 edges => O=12
  • One niobium atom at the center of each face => cubes have 6 faces => Nb=6

Cell formula: Nb_6O_{12}

Empirical formula: NbO_2

<em>This formula corresponds to a niobium valence of +4 </em>
