    Question 75
    CBSEENCH12005423

    What is the percentage of free space in a body centred cubic crystal?

    Solution
    In body centred cubic crystal packing effciency is 68% thus free space in body centred cubic crystal is free space effciency = 100- 68%
                                  = 32%
