There is a collection of crystalline substances in a hexagonal closed packing. If the density of matter is `2.6 g//cm^(3)`, what would be the average density of matter in collection? What fraction of space is actually unoccupied ? |
Answer» In hexagonal closed packed, the packing efficiency is `74.05%`. `therefore` Density of matter= packing fraction `xx` Total density `=(74.05)/(100)xx2.6=1.93 g cm^(-3)` `%` empty space `=100-74.05=25.95 %` |
