QJEEM21Ch9a72: JEE Main 2021 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM21Ch9a72 Solution: The number of octahedral voids per lattice site in a lattice is …
The number of octahedral voids per lattice site in a lattice is _________. (Rounded off to the nearest integer)
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Let us assume, the crystal has fcc or ccp lattice which has octahedral voids.
Number of lattice sites occupied = 8 corner + 6 face centres = 14
Number of octahedral voids = 12 edge centres + 1 body centre = 13
Number of octahedral void(s) per lattice site
