Vedclass · Answer

(B) In an $FCC$ unit cell,the number of atoms per unit cell $(Z)$ is $4$.The relationship between edge length $(a)$ and atomic radius $(r)$ is $a = 2\sqrt{2}r$.The volume of $4$ atoms is $4 	imes (\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3) = \frac{16}{3} \pi r^3$.The volume of the unit cell is $a^3 = (2\sqrt{2}r)^3 = 16\sqrt{2}r^3$.Packing fraction = $\frac{	ext{Volume of atoms}}{	ext{Volume of unit cell}} = \frac{\frac{16}{3} \pi r^3}{16\sqrt{2}r^3} = \frac{\pi}{3\sqrt{2}}$.
