The correct order of the packing efficiency in different types of unit cells is ________.

(i) fcc < bcc < simple cubic

(ii) fcc > bcc > simple cubic

(iii) fcc < bcc > simple cubic

(iv) bcc < fcc > simple cubic

 

 

Correct Answer: (ii) fcc > bcc > simple cubic

Explanation:

The packing efficiency of fcc = 74%

The packing efficiency of bcc = 68%

The packing efficiency of simple cubic = 52%
