What is the number of the nearest neighbour atoms in contact with any atom in the BCC crystal?
Correct Answer:
A. 8
Explanation:
In a body-centered cubic (BCC) crystal structure, each atom is situated at the center of a cube defined by eight other atoms at the corners. Consequently, the central atom is in direct contact with these eight corner atoms, making the coordination number for a BCC lattice 8. This configuration represents the number of immediate neighbors surrounding any given atom within the crystal arrangement.
