The efficiency of packing in the case of a metal crystal for face-centered cubic is
Correct answer
74
Step-by-step solution
In face centred cubic, packing efficiency = Volume occupied by 4 atoms in the unit cell × 1 0 0 Volume of the unit cell = 4 × 4 / 3 πr 3 × 100 2 2 r 3 = 16 / 3 πr 3 × 100 16 2 r 3 = 74 %
