The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided regarding the body-centered cubic (BCC) and cubic close-packed (CCP) structures. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that BCC and CCP have the same packing efficiency. - Packing efficiency is defined as the fraction of volume in a crystal structure that is occupied by the constituent particles (atoms). 2. **Calculating Packing Efficiency for BCC**: - In a BCC unit cell, there are 2 atoms per unit cell (Z = 2). - The packing efficiency for BCC can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Packing Efficiency} = \frac{Z \times \text{Volume of one atom}}{\text{Volume of unit cell}} \] - The packing efficiency for BCC is approximately 68%. 3. **Calculating Packing Efficiency for CCP**: - In a CCP unit cell, there are 4 atoms per unit cell (Z = 4). - Using the same formula for packing efficiency: \[ \text{Packing Efficiency} = \frac{Z \times \text{Volume of one atom}}{\text{Volume of unit cell}} \] - The packing efficiency for CCP is approximately 74%. 4. **Conclusion on the Assertion**: - Since the packing efficiencies of BCC (68%) and CCP (74%) are different, the assertion that BCC and CCP have the same packing efficiency is **incorrect**. 5. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that both BCC and CCP have the same number of atoms per unit cell and the same arrangement. - We already established that BCC has 2 atoms per unit cell and CCP has 4 atoms per unit cell. 6. **Conclusion on the Reason**: - Since the number of atoms per unit cell is different (2 for BCC and 4 for CCP), the reason is also **incorrect**. 7. **Final Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ---
