Question- Calculate the experimental packing efficiency of KCl crystal (NaCl type) using a = 628 pm, r(K+ ) = 133 pm, r(Cl-) = 181 pm, and determine its ideal theoretical maximum based on the hard sphere model, i.e. ignoring the actual sizes of a and the radii. Rationalize the difference.
Show all calculation
Please explain how you came up with answer I really want to understand how to calculate this
