- (A)Packing efficiency of unit cell of Packing efficiency of unit cell of Packing efficiency of unit cell of z✓ Correct
- (B)✓ Correct
- (C)
- (D)Density of Density of y✓ Correct
Answer: (A), (B), (D)
Solution
For the three lattice types:
From the given relations:
and
Therefore:
, ,
So
(A) Packing efficiency: FCC > BCC > Simple cubic ✓
(B) ✓
(C) ✗ (actually )
For density:
Using and the edge length relations, density of x > density of y ✓
(D) is correct.
Therefore, (A), (B), and (D) are correct.
- FCC: , packing efficiency = 74%
- BCC: , packing efficiency = 68%
- Simple cubic: , packing efficiency = 52%
From the given relations:
and
Therefore:
, ,
So
(A) Packing efficiency: FCC > BCC > Simple cubic ✓
(B) ✓
(C) ✗ (actually )
For density:
Using and the edge length relations, density of x > density of y ✓
(D) is correct.
Therefore, (A), (B), and (D) are correct.
