Question

Potassium crystallizes in BCC lattice hence the coordination number of the element in The crystal structure is

Answer 1

Hey dear,

● Answer- CN = 8

● Explaination-
- There could be 14 different lattice structures BCC is one of them.
- BCC stands for body centred cubic lattice.
- In BCC lattice
a = b = c
α = β = γ = 90°
- For BCC lattice co-ordination number is 8.
- Thus potassium have co-ordination number 8 in the crystal structure.

Hope thiz is helpful...
