Predict the percentage of space filled by particles in bcc

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The cubic close packed (cpp)is also called face central cubic(fcc) lattice. In both of these packings `74%` space is filled The remaining space is present in the form of two typesof voids-octahedral voids and tetrahedral voids.Other type of packing of particles. While in body- centred cubic lattice (bcc)`68%` space is filled, in simple cubic lattice only `52.4%` space is filled.
