Crystal Structures of Metals and the number of atoms in metal object
Confused about the crystalline structure of BCC and FCC crystal and corresponding density in it? Looking out for information regarding the density of such crystals? On this Ask Expert page you can check out the advice provided for all your queries.
In BCC Crystal there are 8 atoms. In FCC crystal (at higher temperature) there are 12 atoms.
Now, if the number of atoms in a given piece of metal is remain the same regardless of its temperature.
Is it mean that there are less number of crystals units in the metal (as the size of the metal remain the same, as I understand). But if there are less crystals does it mean that the density of the material remain the same?
