Beyond the until cell, the extended crystal structure of fluorite continues packing in a face-centered cubic (fcc) packing structure (also known as cubic close-packed or ccp). [5] This pattern of spherical packing follows an ABC pattern, where each successive layer of spheres settles on top of the adjacent hole of the lattice.
Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF 2. It belongs to the halide minerals. It crystallizes in isometric cubic habit, although ...
Much like the rock salt structure, the fluorite structure (AB 2) is also an Fm 3 m structure but has 1:2 ratio of ions. The anti-fluorite structure is nearly identical, except the positions of the anions and cations are switched in the structure. They are designated Wyckoff positions 4a and 8c whereas the rock-salt structure positions are 4a ...
Calcium fluoride in the fluorite state is of significant commercial importance as a fluoride source. [11] Hydrogen fluoride is liberated from the mineral by the action of concentrated sulfuric acid: [12] CaF 2 + H 2 SO 4 → CaSO 4 (solid) + 2 HF
Hexagonal close packed (hcp) is one of the two simple types of atomic packing with the highest density, the other being the face-centered cubic (fcc). However, unlike the fcc, it is not a Bravais lattice, as there are two nonequivalent sets of lattice points.
In graphite, carbon atoms are contained in layers in a hexagonal pattern where the covalent bonds are shorter (and thus even stronger) than those of diamond. However, each layer is connected to the other with a longer and much weaker van der Waals bond. This gives graphite a single direction of cleavage, parallel to the basal pinacoid.

The next row follows this pattern of shifting the x-coordinate by r and the y-coordinate by √ 3. Add rows until reaching the x and y maximum borders of the box. In an A-B-A-B-... stacking pattern, the odd numbered planes of spheres will have exactly the same coordinates save for a pitch difference in the z -coordinates and the even numbered ...
