    The fraction of total volume occupied by the atoms present in a simple cube is: [AIPMT (S) 2007]

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

    B) \[\frac{\pi }{3\sqrt{2}}\]

    C) \[\frac{\pi }{4\sqrt{2}}\]

    D)  \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] For simple cubic
                Radius    \[(r)=\frac{a}{2}\]
                Volume of the atom = \[\frac{4}{3}\pi {{\left( \frac{a}{2} \right)}^{3}}\]
                Packing fraction = \[\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{\left( \frac{a}{2} \right)}^{3}}}{{{a}^{3}}}\]
    \[=\frac{\pi }{6}\]
