Consider the bcc unit cells of the solids 11 and 22 with the position of atoms as shown below. The radius of atom BB is twice that of atom A.A . The unit cell edge length is 5050% more in solid 22 than in 11 . What is the approximate packing efficiency in solid 22 ?

Consider the bcc unit cells of the solids 1 and 2 with the position of atoms as shown below. The radius of atom B is

Options

  1. A9090%
  2. B4545%
  3. C7575%
  4. D6565%

Correct answer

A. 9090%

Step-by-step solution

Consider the bcc unit cells of the solids 1 and 2 with the position of atoms as shown below. The radius of atom B is

If radius of AA is rr radius of BB will be 2r2r . Atoms in the body diagonal touch.

Therefore:
r+2r+2r+r=3ar + 2r + 2r + r = \sqrt{3}a

6r=3a6r = \sqrt{3}a or a=6r3a = \dfrac{6r}{\sqrt{3}}

Packing Efficiency
=1×43πr3+1×43π(2r)3a3=43πr3×9(6r/3)3= \dfrac{1 \times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi{r}^{3} + 1 \times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi{( 2r )}^{3}}{{a}^{3}} = \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi{r}^{3} \times 9}{{( 6r / \sqrt{3} )}^{3}}
=4×9×π×r3×333×216×r3=90.5= \dfrac{4 \times 9 \times \pi \times {r}^{3} \times 3\sqrt{3}}{3 \times 216 \times {r}^{3}} = 90.5%
