Which of the following lattices has the highest packing efficency (a) simple cubic, (b) body-centred cubic, and (c ) hexagonal close-packed lattice?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

packing efficiencies are : simple cubic = 52.4% , Body - centred cubic = 68% , Hexagonal close-packed = 74 % thus, hexagonal close - packed lattice has the highest packing efficiency.
