If the radius of the octahedral void is r and radius of the atoms in close packing is R , derive relation between r and R .

If R is the radius of the octahedral void and r is the radius of the atom in close packing, then r/R is equal to

Given below are densities of some solids and liquids. Give rough estimates of the size of their atoms : [Hint : Assume the atoms to be 'tightly packed' in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro's number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few Å].

Packing refers to the arrangement of constituent units in such a way that the forces of attraction among the constituent particles is maximum and the constituents occupy the maximum available space. In two dimension there are square close packing and hexagonal close packing, cubic close packing and body-centred cubic packing i) hcp: AB AB AB AB .... arrangement Coordination no. = 12 , % occupied space = 74% ii) ccp: ABC ABC ....... arrangement Coordination no. = 12, % occupied space = 74% iii) bec: 68% space is occupied. Coordination no= 8 17. The empty space left in hcp in three dimensions is
