the number of octohedral sites per sphere in a fcc structure is
a)8 c)2
b)4 d)1
Let the number of atom present per unit cell is N.
Then Number of octahedral voids = N
Number of tetrahedral voids = 2N
As in FCC the number of atom present in per unit cell is 4.
Therefore number of octahedral voids are also equal to 4.
Hence, the correct option is b.
