There is a collection of crystalline substances in a hexagonal closed packing. If the density of matter is `2.6 g//cm^(3)`, what would be the average density of matter in collection? What fraction of space is actually unoccupied ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In hexagonal close packing, packing efficiency is 74 %
Density of matter = Packing fraction ` xx ` Total density = ` 74/100 xx 2.6 = 1.924 " g/cm"^(3)`
% empty space ( space unoccupied ) = 100 - 74 = 26% .
