Atom occupies the fcc lattice sites as well as alternate tetrahedral voids of the same lattice. The packing efficiency (in ) of the resultant solid is closest to
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Atom occupies FCC lattice sites as well as alternate tetrahedral voids of FCC. In FCC, tetrahedral voids are (in a unit cell) Hence
Atom in a unit cell (FCC lattice sites)
Atom in a unit cell (in T.V.)
Total atom in one unit cell
For relation between a and r, since Tetrahedral void forms at th of body diagonal,
Packing efficiency
