The percentage of empty space in a body ...

The percentage of empty space in a body centred cubic arrangement is :

A

74

B

68

C

32

D

26

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In case of body centred cubic arrangement
Packing fraction `=((8)/(3)pir^(3))/((64r^(3))/(3sqrt(3)))xx100=68%`
`:.` Fraction of empty space = 100 - 68 = 32%
