AI Generated Solution

To calculate the void space in a primitive unit cell and the fraction of the total volume occupied, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Primitive Unit Cell A primitive unit cell, also known as a simple cubic unit cell, consists of atoms located at the corners of a cube. In a simple cubic structure, there is one atom per unit cell due to the contribution of the corner atoms. ### Step 2: Calculate the Volume of the Unit Cell The volume of the unit cell (cube) can be expressed as: \[ V_{\text{cube}} = a^3 \] ...
