Close packing is maximum in the crystal which in the crystal which is

A

Simple cube

B

bcc

C

fcc

D

none

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
The close packing in the crystal is `0.52,0.68 and 0.74` for simple cubic , body ceneters cubic , and face - centres cubic respectively
i.e. the close packing is maximum in fcc
