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%
Packing fraction for face-centered cubic unit cell - PF = 0.74 Packing fraction for body-centered cubic unit cell - PF = 0.68
Therefore,
(1) Packing Efficiency in CCP is 74% and empty space is 26%.
(2) Packing Efficiency in BCC is 68% and empty space is 32%.
Therefore, Option (3) is correct.
