To calculate the packing fraction of a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice with one corner atom and one face-centered atom missing, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the number of atoms per unit cell In a face-centered cubic lattice, normally: - There are 8 corner atoms, each contributing \( \frac{1}{8} \) of an atom to the unit cell. - There are 6 face-centered atoms, each contributing \( \frac{1}{2} \) of an atom to the unit cell. However, in this case: ...
