What is incorrect regarding bcc unit cell -
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
In a BCC unit cell, the number of atoms per unit cell is , so option (A) is correct.
Atoms touch along the body diagonal, therefore the relation is , so option (B) is correct.
The packing efficiency (packing fraction) of BCC is about 68% (0.68), so option (D) is correct.
The coordination number of a BCC lattice is 8, not 6.
Therefore, the statement C.N. = 6 is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (C).
