Vedclass · Answer

(C) In a simple cubic structure, atoms are present only at the corners. The effective number of atoms per unit cell is $Z = 1$.Volume of one atom $= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$, where $r$ is the radius of the atom.Volume of the unit cell $= a^3$, where $a$ is the edge length.In a simple cubic unit cell, the atoms touch along the edge, so $a = 2r$.Packing fraction $= \frac{Z 	imes 	ext{Volume of one atom}}{	ext{Volume of unit cell}} = \frac{1 	imes \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3}{(2r)^3} = \frac{4 \pi r^3}{3 	imes 8 r^3} = \frac{\pi}{6}$.

The fraction of the total volume occupied by the atoms in a simple cubic unit cell is
