    Total volume of atoms present in a face centred cubic unit cell of a metal is (r = atomic radius)

    A)  \[\frac{20}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]        

    B)  \[\frac{24}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{12}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]

    D)  \[\frac{16}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea Volume of an atom \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\] In fcc, number of atoms per unit cell = 4       \[\therefore \] Volume of total atoms \[=4\times \frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\] \[=\frac{16}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]
