Solution
The correct option is
C
2
In ccp, number of atoms present per unit cell
=
4
Since in cubic closed packing, the number of tetrahedral voids is equal to twice the number of atoms present per unit cell, hence
Number of tetrahedral voids
=
2
×
4
=
8
These
∗
voids are uniformly distributed over each of the
4
body diagonals. Therefore,
Number of tetrahedral voids present on each body diagonal in CCP unit cell
=
8
4
=
