Question:medium

What is the packing efficiency of silver metal in its unit cell?

Show Hint

Logic Tip: You should memorize the packing efficiencies of the three main cubic lattices for quick recall: Simple Cubic (SC) = 52.4%, Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) = 68.0%, and Face-Centered Cubic (FCC/CCP) = 74.0%. Since silver forms an FCC lattice, the answer is immediately 74.0%.
