PACKING IN CRYSTAL SYSTEM
• There are two types of Crystal packing as following :
• Hexagonal Closest Packing :
• Cubic Closest Packing/Square Closest Packing :
Coordination number = 4
Term related to packing systems :
1. Coordination Number : The number of nearest neighbours of a sphere or the number of spheres touching any sphere.
2. Packing efficiency or Packing fraction : The percentage of total space filled by the particles is called packing efficiency.
Formula of packing efficiency :
Packing efficiency = [volume of atoms in a unit cell / total volume of a unit cell]×100
• Density of Unit cells :
[ d = Z × M/NA × a^3 ]
Where,
d = density.
Z = Effective no.of atoms in unit.
M = Molar mass.
NA = Avagadro constant.
a = edge length of unit cell.
