The number of tetrahedral and octahedral voids in CCP unit cell are respectively

  1. A 4,8
  2. B 8,4
  3. C 12,6
  4. D 6,12
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 8,4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a closed packed structure [CCP or HCP] if there are \(n\) spheres (atoms or ions) in packing; then; Number of octahedral voids \(=n\) Number of tetrahedral voids \(=2 n\) In CCP; Number of atoms \(=4\) So number of octahedral voids \(=4\) Number of tetrahedral voids \(=8\)
