A metal crystallises in `b.c.c.` lattice. The per cent fraction of edge length not covered by atom is `:`A. `11.4%`B. `12.4%`C. `13.4%`D. `14.4%`

Answer» Correct Answer - c
In `b.c.c.,` radius of atom `r=(sqrt(3)a)/(4`
Also, edge length of unit cell `=a`
`:. ` Edge length not covered by atom `=a-2r`
`=a-(sqrt(3))/(2).a`
`=a((2-sqrt(3))/(2))`
`:. %` fraction not covered
`(a((2-sqrt(3))/(2)))/(a)xx100=13.4%`
