Question

What does BCC structure mean again?

Answer 1

BCC refers to "body-centered cubic" meaning that there is 1 lattice point in the center of the cube/unit and 8 at each vertex

Answer 2

so this would have 2 lattice points per unit cell

Answer 3

BCC is the body centered cubic crystal system:

There are seven 3D crystal systems:

Answer 4

BCC is body centered cubic crystal structure. in this crystal system you have 1 atom at the center of the cube and 1/8 th atom at the corners. the total number of atoms are 2 and its coordination number is 8, and the Atomic packing factor for this structure is .68.

Answer 5

BCC is body centered cubic system !!!!where 8 atoms will be at the corners of the cube and one at the body center!!! remember that both the atoms at the center and the corners of a cube must be same!!!! for example tungsten is BCC structure !!! CSCl is not a BCC structure but it is BCC like structure!!!! the atoms are touchin along Body diagonaly only
