  1. A 0.69
  2. B 0.74
  3. C 0.524
  4. D 0.802
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.524

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Packing Efficiency \( = \frac{\text{Volume of atoms}}{\text{Volume of unit cell}} \) \( = \frac{1 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3}{(2r)^3} \) \( = \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3}{8r^3} \) \( = \frac{\pi}{6} \) \( \approx 0.524 \)
