The CORRECT statement(s) for cubic close packed (ccp) three dimensional structure is(are) (A) The number of the nearest neighbours of an atom present in the topmost layer is 12 (B) The efficiency of atom packing is 74% (C) The number of octahedral and tetrahedral voids per atom are 1 and 2, respectively (D) The unit cell edge length is 2 2 times the radius of the atom

Answer»

(B) The efficiency of atom packing is 74% 

(C) The number of octahedral and tetrahedral voids per atom are 1 and 2, respectively 

(D) The unit cell edge length is 2 2 times the radius of the atom

The middle layers will have 12 nearest neighbours. The top-most layer will have 9 nearest neighbours. 4r = a√2 , where ‘a’ is edge length of unit cell and ‘r’ is radius of atom.
