Atom X occupies the fcc lattice sites as well as alternate tetrahedral voids of the same lattice. The…
Solution
Atom occupies FCC lattice sites as well as alternate tetrahedral voids of FCC. In FCC, tetrahedral voids are (in a unit cell) Hence
Atom in a unit cell (FCC lattice sites)
Atom in a unit cell (in T.V.)
Total atom in one unit cell
For relation between a and r, since Tetrahedral void forms at th of body diagonal,
Packing efficiency
