    Fraction of total volume occupied by atoms in a simple cube is

    A) \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]                                    

    B) \[\frac{\sqrt{3\pi }}{8}\]

    C) \[\frac{\sqrt{2\pi }}{6}\]            

    D) \[\frac{\pi }{6}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In simple cubic arrangement, no. of atoms = 1 \[a=2r\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,~Packing\text{ }fraction\] \[=\,\,\frac{Volume\,\,occupied\,\,by\,\,one\,\,atom}{Volume\,\,of\,\,unit\,\,cell}\] \[=\,\,\,\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}}{{{a}^{3}}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}}{{{(2r)}^{3}}}=\frac{\pi }{6}\]
