The maximum percentage of available volume that can be filled in a face centered cubic system by an atom is........(A) 74%(B) 68%(C) 34%(D) 26%

Answer»

Correct answer is: (A) 74%

Total volume of unit cell = 8\(\sqrt{8}r^3\)

Volume occupied = \(\cfrac{16}{3}\pi r^3\)

\(\therefore\) Packing efficiency =\(\cfrac{16}{3}\pi r^3\)\(\times\)\(\cfrac{1}{8\sqrt{8}r^3}\times100\)

= 74.0 %
