Percentages of free space in cubic close packed structure and in body centred packed structure are respectively
48% and 26%
30% and 26%
26% and 32%
32% and 48%
As we learnt in
Packing fraction for face centered cubic unit cell -
Pf = 0.74
-
Packing fraction for body centered cubic unit cell -
Pf = 0.68
-
(1) Packing efficiency in CCP is 74% and empty space is 26%.
(2) Packing efficiency in BCC is 68% and empty space is 32%.
