Chemistry Question on Unit Cells

The number of tetrahedral and octahedral void per unit cell of cubic closed packed structure is

A

44659

B

44655

C

44777

D

44781

Answer

44777

Explanation

Solution

In ccp or fee structure Number of lattice points
(Z)=4(Z)=4
\because Number of octahedral voids = Number of lattice points
\therefore Number of octahedral voids =4=4
and Number of tetrahedral voids =2×=2 \times
Number of octahedral voids
\therefore number of tetrahedral voids =2×4=8=2 \times 4=8
