  1. Question 1

    Q1. What is the packing efficiency of face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice?

    • A) 74%
    • B) 68%
    • C) 52%
    • D) 90%

    Answer: 74%

    Explanation: FCC has 4 atoms per unit cell. Packing efficiency = (4 * (4/3) * π * r³) / a³, where a = 2√2r. Simplifying gives 74%.
