Solution

Correct option: (B)

In a face-centered cubic arrangement, the atoms are present at corners and at the center of the face.

Contribution of atoms located at the corner of cube =12

Contribution of atoms located at the face of cube =12

Zeff for FCC lattice =8×18+6×12=4

So, the number of atoms present in FCC unit cell =4

Let r is the radius of an atom

The volume of one atom =V=43πr3

Total volume of atoms present in a face centred cubic unit cell
V =4×43πr3=163πr3
