Some of the metals with BCC structures are not close packed. Therefore, their densities would be greater if they were to change to a cubic close packed structure. What would be density of a metal if it had a cubic close packed structure rather than BCC? Its actual density is 19.3 g/ cc.

Solution :`rho_("CCP")=(4M)/(N_(A)a_("CCP")^(3))` and`rho_("BCC")=(2M)/(N_(A)a_("BCC")^(3))`,
`implies (rho_("CCP"))/(rho_("BCC"))=2((a_("BCC"))/(a_("CCP")))^(3)"`: Also in FCC `4r=sqrt(2a_("CCP"))`
in BCC, `4r=sqrt(3)a_("BCC")`
`implies (rho_("CCP"))/(19.3)=2((2)/(3))^(3//2)`=1.08867
`implies rho_("CCP")=21g//cc`
