Specify the type of crystal structure for the following meta
Specify the type of crystal structure for the following metals:
Solution
There are three basic crystal structures
1) Body centered cubic (BCC) - These are usually high strength materials like Chromium, Tungsten and Vanadium
2) Face centered cubic (FCC) - These are usually ductile materials like Copper, Gold and Silver
3) Hexagonal Close Packing (HCP) - These are usually brittle materials like Zinc, Magnesium and Cadmium
So the answer to you question is
1) Copper - FCC
2) Gold - FCC
3) Chromium - BCC
4) Zinc - HCP
