The volume of atom present in a face-centred cubic unit cell of a metal (`r` is atomic radius ) isA. `12/3 pir^3`B. `16/3 pir^3`C. `20/3 pir^3`D. `24/3 pir^3`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`a=2sqrt2r`
Volume of the cell =`a^3=(2sqrt2r)^3=16sqrt2r^3`
No. of spheres in fcc = `8xx1/8+6xx1/2=4`
Volume of 4 spheres = `4xx4/3pir^3=16/3pir^3`
