Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The packing fraction of a cubic close-packed structure has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

  • Unit cell: A simplest repeating unit in the crystal structure. Every unit cell is described in terms of lattice point. Example for unit cell: cubic, monoclinic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, rhombohedral, hexagonal and triclinic.
  • Simple cubic unit cell: The unit cell in which lattice points are located only at corners.
  • Body centred cubic unit cell: The simplest repeating unit in the centre of the cubic structure.
  • Face centred cubic unit cell: The identical particles present in the eight corners of the u it cell. But this structure contains same particle in the six centres of the faces.
