Question

Explain the differences in packing efficiency for simple, body centered, and face centered unit cells?

Answer 1

Body centered isn't like hexagonal close packing or anything?

Answer 2

nope.

i am sorry i should say fcc is the one that has the highest efficiency among the three choices.

look up "close packing" in "chemistry: the central science"

Answer 3

Okay, thank you! :D

Answer 4

cool, but don't let me tell you what's right. i would find a cheap old copy of "chemistry:the central sci" book and read about it.
