Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The face-centered cubic (fcc) structure is a type of closest-packed structure in which the atoms or ions are arranged in planes in such a way that each plane has a maximum number of atoms in contact with its neighboring planes. In the fcc structure, there are atoms at the corners of the cube and one atom at the center of each face of the cube. This arrangement is also known as cubic closest-packed, which is the best choice among the given options.
