Question

The following diagram shows the arrangement of lattice points with `a = b = c` and `alpha = beta = gamma = 90^(@)`. Choose the correct options.
A. The arrangement is SC with each lattice point surrounded by 6 nearest neighbours
B. The arrangement is SC with each lattice point surrounded by 8 nearest neighbours
C. The arrangement is FCC with each lattice point surrounded by 12 nearest neighbour
D. The arrangement in BCC with each lattice point surrouned by 8 nearest neighbour

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A
According to figure, it shows a simple cubic lattice. Now observe the center atom, its has 6 nearest neighbours
