how are the spheres arranged in first letter of simple cubic close packed structure ?how are the successive layers of sphere placed about this layer? ANSWER ONLY IF YOU KNOW IT. ANSWER FAST I WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST
Answers
Answer:
closed packing efficiently fills up 74% of space. Similar to hexagonal closest packing, the second layer of spheres is placed on top of half of the depressions of the first layer. The third layer is completely different than that first two layers and is stacked in the depressions of the second layer, thus covering all of the octahedral holes. The spheres in the third layer are not in line with those in layer A and the structure does not repeat until a fourth
Explanation:
Simple cubic close-packed structures are obtained by stacking two-dimensional square close-packed layers. So, the spheres in the first layer are placed adjacent to one another to form two dimensional square close packing (i.e., AAAA type arrangement). All the spheres of the successive layers are placed exactly above the spheres of the lower layers. This results in perfect horizontal and vertical alignment between the spheres of various layers.
