What is the dimensional formula of packing fraction?(a) M^0L^3T^0(b) M^0L^0T^0(c) ML^0T^0(d) M^0L^2T^0This question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question originated from Solid State topic in chapter Solid State of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct option is (b) M^0L^0T^0

The explanation: Packing fraction is a dimensionless quantity which is the ratio of space OCCUPIED to TOTAL CRYSTAL space available. SINCE both the quantities have the same units the ratio renders dimensionless.
