The packing efficiency of the two dimensional square unit cell show in the adjoining fig ,. Is ` (##PR_CHE_V01_XII_C01_E20_009_Q01.png" width="80%">A. 0.3927B. 0.6802C. 0.7405D. 0.7854

Answer» Correct Answer - D
In the two - dimensional packing , packing fraction
Area occupied by circles
` (" within the square")/("Area of the square") `
` ( 2 xx pir^(2))/a^(2) `
AC = `sqrt(AB^(2) + BC^(2)) = sqrt(a^(2) + a^(2)) = sqr2 a `
but AC = 4 r( r= radius of each sphere)
` sqrt2 a= 4r or a = 4/sqrt2 r = 2 sqrt2r`
packing fraction
` ( 2xx pi r^(2))/((2 sqrt2 r)^(2))= pi/4 = ( 3.143)/4 = 0.785 i.e, 78.5%`
