    Packing fraction of simple cubic crystal lattice is

    A)  \[38\,%\]                      

    B)  \[74\,%\]

    C)  \[68\,%\]                      

    D)  \[52.4\,%\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The packing fraction is the fraction of volume in a crystal structure that is occupied by atoms. \[\phi =\frac{4/3\,\pi {{r}^{3}}}{{{a}^{3}}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{\pi }{6}\,=\,\,0.524\] Packing fraction \[=\,\, 0.524 \times  100\] \[= \,52.4\,%\] The packing fraction for \[\operatorname{HCP}-0.74\] \[\operatorname{FCC} - 0.74\] \[\operatorname{BCC}-0.68\] Diamond cubic - 0.34
