The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statements regarding the distances between voids in cubic close packing (CCP) of atoms, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Octahedral Voids:** - In cubic close packing, octahedral voids are located at the center of the unit cell and at the edge centers. - The distance between two octahedral voids (one at the center and one at the edge) is calculated as: \[ \text{Distance} = 2r \] - **Conclusion:** The first statement is correct. 2. **Understanding Tetrahedral Voids:** - Tetrahedral voids in cubic close packing are located at specific positions, including along the body diagonal. - The distance between the two tetrahedral voids along the body diagonal is given by: \[ \text{Distance} = \sqrt{6}r \] - **Conclusion:** The second statement is correct. 3. **Distance Between Tetrahedral and Octahedral Voids:** - The distance between a tetrahedral void and an octahedral void can be derived from their positions in the unit cell. - The distance is calculated as: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}r \] - **Conclusion:** The third statement is correct. 4. **Distance Between Surface Atoms Along an Edge:** - The distance between the surface of atoms arranged along an edge in a cubic close packing structure is given by: \[ \text{Distance} = 2\sqrt{2}r \] - However, the statement mentions \(2\sqrt{-1}r\), which is incorrect as it does not represent a valid distance. - **Conclusion:** The fourth statement is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion: - The correct statements are the first three: 1. The distance between two octahedral voids is \(2r\). 2. The distance between two tetrahedral voids is \(\sqrt{6}r\). 3. The distance between tetrahedral and octahedral voids is \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}r\). - The fourth statement is incorrect.
