Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of packing is observed in a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand what a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure is. It is a type of crystal structure.
  • Step 2: Visualize a cube. Imagine a cube shape with atoms at specific positions.
  • Step 3: Identify the corners of the cube. There are 8 corners in a cube.
  • Step 4: Place one atom at each of the 8 corners of the cube.
  • Step 5: Now, place one additional atom in the very center of the cube. This is the 'body-centered' part.
  • Step 6: Recognize that the packing in BCC consists of these 8 corner atoms and 1 center atom.
