Calculate the volume occupied by all particles in bcc unit cell if the volume of unit cell is 8.0 10⁻²³ ~cm ^3
Options
- A3.19 10⁻²³ ~cm ^3
- B2.72 10⁻²³ ~cm ^3
- C5.44 10⁻²³ ~cm ^3
- D1.48 10⁻²³ ~cm ^3
Correct answer
C. 5.44 10⁻²³ ~cm ^3
Step-by-step solution
The packing efficiency for a body-centered cubic structure is 0.68 , representing the fraction of the unit cell volume occupied by atoms. Given the total unit cell volume of 8.0 10⁻²³ cm ^3 , the occupied volume is therefore 0.68 8.0 10⁻²³ = 5.44 10⁻²³ cm ^3 . This corresponds to option C .
