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
∵ Number of octahedral voids = Number of lattice points
∴ Number of octahedral voids =4
and Number of tetrahedral voids =2×
Number of octahedral voids
∴ number of tetrahedral voids =2×4=8
