Question
### Understanding Crystal Structures: Simple Cube, BCC, and FCC

#### 1. Number of Spheres per Unit Cell

- **Simple Cube**: 1 atom
- **BCC (Body-Centered Cubic)**: 2 atoms
- **FCC (Face-Centered Cubic)**: 4 atoms

#### 2. Volume of Spheres Per Unit Cell
The volume calculation formula for the spheres within a unit cell is:

\[ \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \times \text{Number of spheres per unit cell} \]

- **Simple Cube**: \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \times 1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)
- **BCC**: \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \times 2 = \frac{8}{3} \pi r^3\)
- **FCC**: \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \times 4 = \frac{16}{3} \pi r^3\)

#### 3. Side Length in Terms of r (Radius)

- **Simple Cube**: \(2r\)
- **BCC**: \(\frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}\)
- **FCC**: \(2\sqrt{2}r\)

#### 4. Volume of Unit Cell in Terms of r

- **Simple Cube**: \((2r)^3 = 8r^3\)
- **BCC**: \(\left(\frac{4r}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^3 = \frac{64r^3}{3\sqrt{3}}\)
- **FCC**: \( (2\sqrt{2}r)^3 = 16\sqrt{2}r^3 \)

#### 5. Packing Efficiency
Calculated as:

\[ \text{Packing Efficiency} (\%) = \frac{\text{Volume of spheres}}{\text{Volume of unit cell}} \times 100\]

- **Simple Cube**: \[ \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3}{8r^3} \times 100 = \frac{\pi}{6} \times 100 \approx 52.36\%\]
- **BCC**: \( \frac{\frac{8}{3} \pi
