What type of crystal structure from following has 52.36% packing efficiency?
A. FCC
B. BCC
C. Hexagonal cubic
D. Simple cubic
Correct Option is (D)
The packing efficiency of a crystal structure refers to the fraction of the volume of a unit cell that is actually occupied by atoms. Let's look at the packing efficiencies of the given crystal structures :
Option A : FCC (Face-Centered Cubic)
Packing efficiency = 74%
Option B : BCC (Body-Centered Cubic)
Packing efficiency = 68%
Option C : Hexagonal cubic There's some confusion with this terminology. Typically, we have "Hexagonal Close-Packed (HCP)" rather than "Hexagonal Cubic." The packing efficiency for HCP is also about 74%, similar to FCC.
Option D : Simple cubic Packing efficiency = 52.4%
From the given options, the closest to 52.36% packing efficiency is :
Option D : Simple cubic.
