Assertion (A): Total number of octahedral voids present in unit cell of cubic close packing including the one that is present at the body centre, is four.
Assertion (A): Total number of octahedral voids present in unit cell of cubic close packing including the one that is present at the body centre, is four.
Reason (R): Besides the body centre, there is one octahedral void present at the centre of each of the six faces of the unit cell and each of which is shared between two adjacent unit cells.
(a) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.
(b) Assertion and Reason both are correct statements but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
(d) Assertion is wrong but Reason is correct.
(c) Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
Explanation:
All edge centres and body centre represent octahedral void.
Total number of octahedral voids = 12 x 1/4 +1 = 4
