Question 10
1 / -0

A
$$53.26\%$$

B
$$74.00\%$$

C
$$68.00\%$$

D
$$64.00\%$$

Solution

Packing efficiency is defined as the percentage of space occupied by constituent particles packed inside the lattice.
Consider edge length is $$a$$
In BCC,
$$AC=\sqrt{AB^2+BC^2}=\sqrt{a^2+a^2}=\sqrt2 a$$

$$AC=FD$$

and $$AF=\sqrt{AD^2+FD^2}=\sqrt{2a^2+a^2}=\sqrt{3}a$$

Thus $$\sqrt3 a=4r$$ i.e., $$a=\dfrac{4r}{\sqrt3}$$
Volume of the unit cell=$$a^3=\left(\dfrac{4r}{\sqrt3}\right)^3=\dfrac{64r^3}{3\sqrt3}$$
Now, No. of spheres per unit cell=$$8\times \dfrac18+1=1+1=2$$
Thus volume of two spheres=$$2\times \dfrac43 \pi r^3=\dfrac83 \pi r^3$$
$$\therefore \text{Packing efficiency}=\dfrac{\dfrac83 \pi r^3}{\dfrac{64}{3\sqrt3}r^3}=0.68$$
Thus, $$\%\text{Packing efficiency}=68\%$$
