Solution

The correct option is C

Space occupied by particles/ Total volume of cell.


Packing fraction generally relates to the amount of space occupied inside a unit cell.

A unit cell can be of any dimension. We calculate the packing fraction appropriately.

If a unit cell is in 2-D, we use

Area occupied/Total area of unit cell

If a unit cell is in 3-D, we use

Volume occupied/Total volume of unit cell
