The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the void space in crystal structures, we will analyze the packing efficiency of the given structures: FCC (Face-Centered Cubic), HCP (Hexagonal Close-Packed), and CCP (Cubic Close-Packed). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structures**: - **FCC Structure**: In an FCC structure, there are atoms located at each of the corners and the centers of each face of the cube. - **HCP Structure**: The HCP structure consists of two layers of atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern, with the layers stacked in an ABAB pattern. - **CCP Structure**: The CCP structure is similar to FCC but is defined by an ABCABC stacking sequence. 2. **Calculating Number of Atoms per Unit Cell**: - For **FCC**: - There are 8 corner atoms, each contributing \( \frac{1}{8} \) of an atom, and 6 face-centered atoms, each contributing \( \frac{1}{2} \). - Total atoms = \( 8 \times \frac{1}{8} + 6 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1 + 3 = 4 \) atoms per unit cell. - For **HCP**: - The number of atoms in HCP is also 6 (2 in the top layer and 4 in the bottom layer). - For **CCP**: - The number of atoms in CCP is the same as FCC, which is 4 atoms per unit cell. 3. **Calculating Packing Efficiency**: - The packing efficiency (PE) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Packing Efficiency} = \frac{z \times \text{Volume of one atom}}{\text{Volume of unit cell}} \times 100 \] - For FCC and CCP, the packing efficiency is approximately 74%, leading to a void space of: \[ \text{Void Space} = 100\% - \text{Packing Efficiency} = 100\% - 74\% = 26\% \] - For HCP, the packing efficiency is also around 74%, resulting in the same void space of 26%. 4. **Conclusion**: - All three structures (FCC, HCP, and CCP) have a void space of 26%. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that all the given structures exhibit 26% void space. ### Final Answer: **All of the above (FCC, HCP, CCP) have 26% void space.**
