For the given close packed structure of a salt made of cation X and...
For the given close packed structure of a salt made of cation and anion shown below (ions of only one face are shown for clarity), the packing fraction is approximately (packing fraction )

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Total number of atoms in a unit cell
No. of atom (at face centres)
No. of atom (at all corners)
So, the formula of compound is
Now
If radius of is and radius of is then side length
and face diagonal
Now Packing fraction
Substituting and
