For the given close packed structure of a salt made of cation XX and anion YY shown below (ions of only one face are shown for clarity), the packing fraction is approximately (packing fraction =packingefficiency100= \dfrac{packingefficiency}{100}) For the given close packed structure of a salt made of cation X and anion Y shown below (ions of only one face are

Options

  1. A0.740 . 74
  2. B0.630 . 63
  3. C0.520 . 52
  4. D0.480 . 48

Correct answer

B. 0.630 . 63

Step-by-step solution

Total number of atoms in a unit cell

No. of xx =6×12=3= 6 \times \dfrac{1}{2} = 3 atom (at face centres)

No. of yy =8×18=1= 8 \times \dfrac{1}{8} = 1 atom (at all corners)

So, the formula of compound is x3y{x}_{3}y

Now

For the given close packed structure of a salt made of cation X and anion Y shown below (ions of only one face are

If radius of xx is rr and radius of yy is RR then side length a=2Ra = 2R

and face diagonal 2a=2R+2r\sqrt{2}a = 2R + 2r

r=(2−1)Rr = \left(\sqrt{2} - 1\right)R

Now Packing fraction =volumeofatomsVolumeofunitcell= \dfrac{volumeofatoms}{Volumeofunitcell}

=1×43πR3+3×43πr3a3= \dfrac{1 \times \dfrac{4}{3}{\pi R}^{3} + 3 \times \dfrac{4}{3}{\pi r}^{3}}{{a}^{3}}

Substituting a=2Ra = 2R and r=0.414Rr = 0 . 414R

=43πR3(1+3(0.414)3)(2R)3= \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3}{\pi R}^{3}\left(1 + 3{\left(0 . 414\right)}^{3}\right)}{{\left(2R\right)}^{3}}

=4π3×8(1+0.07096×3)= \dfrac{4\pi}{3 \times 8}\left(1 + 0 . 07096 \times 3\right)

=π6×1.212=0.63= \dfrac{\pi}{6} \times 1 . 212 = 0 . 63
