  2. Cubic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_crystal_system

    In the rock-salt structure, each of the two atom types forms a separate face-centered cubic lattice, with the two lattices interpenetrating so as to form a 3D checkerboard pattern. The rock-salt structure has octahedral coordination : Each atom's nearest neighbors consist of six atoms of the opposite type, positioned like the six vertices of a ...

  4. Crystal structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_structure

    This type of structural arrangement is known as cubic close packing (ccp). The unit cell of a ccp arrangement of atoms is the face-centered cubic (fcc) unit cell. This is not immediately obvious as the closely packed layers are parallel to the {111} planes of the fcc unit cell. There are four different orientations of the close-packed layers.

  5. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    Both arrangements produce a face-centered cubic lattice – with different orientation to the ground. Hexagonal close-packing would result in a six-sided pyramid with a hexagonal base. Collections of snowballs arranged in pyramid shape. The front pyramid is hexagonal close-packed and rear is face-centered cubic.

  6. Periodic table (crystal structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_table_(crystal...

    The Body centered cubic structure (BCC). It is not a close packed structure. In this each metal atom is at the centre of a cube with 8 nearest neighbors, however the 6 atoms at the centres of the adjacent cubes are only approximately 15% further away so the coordination number can therefore be considered to be 14 when these are on one 4 fold ...

  7. Allotropes of iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_iron

    BCC is body centered cubic and FCC is face-centered cubic. Iron-carbon eutectic phase diagram, showing various forms of Fe x C y substances. Iron allotropes, showing the differences in structure. The alpha iron (α-Fe) is a body-centered cubic (BCC) and the gamma iron (γ-Fe) is a face-centered cubic (FCC).

  8. Coordination geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_geometry

    In a crystal structure the coordination geometry of an atom is the geometrical pattern of coordinating atoms where the definition of coordinating atoms depends on the bonding model used. [1] For example, in the rock salt ionic structure each sodium atom has six near neighbour chloride ions in an octahedral geometry and each chloride has ...

  9. Crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

    The diamond crystal structure belongs to the face-centered cubic lattice, with a repeated two-atom pattern. In crystallography , a crystal system is a set of point groups (a group of geometric symmetries with at least one fixed point).
