(i) Simple cubic:-  In a simple cubic lattice the atoms are located only on the corners of the cube.

                               Thus, the side of the cube ‘a’, and the radius of each particle, r are related as:

                                                     a = 2r

                               The volume of cubic unit cell = (2r)^3 = 8r^3                               

                           And Volume of 1 atom : 

                                                                =\frac{4}{3}\Pi r^3

                              Packing\ efficiency = \frac{Volume\ of\ one\ atom}{Volume\ of\ cubic\ unit\ cell}\times100 \%

                                                                          

                                                                          

                                                                          = 52.4\%

Thus packing efficiency of simple cubic is 52.4\%
