Assertion(A) : Total number of octahedra...

Assertion(A) : Total number of octahedral voids present in unit cell of cubic close packing including the one that is present at the body centre, is four.
Reason ( R) : Besides the body centre there is one octahedral void present at the centre of each of the six faces of the unit cell and each of which is shared between two adjacent unit cells.

A

Assertion and reason both are corrent statements and reason is correct explanation for assertion.

B

Assertion and reason both are corrent statements but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.

C

Assertion is corrent statement but reason reason is wrong statement.

D

Assertion is wrong statement but reason is correct statement.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Corrcet Reason. Besides the body centre, there is one octahedral void at the centre of each of the 12 edges.
