Intro to Geology
Body-centered cubic (BCC) is a type of crystal structure where atoms are located at each corner of a cube with one additional atom positioned at the center of the cube. This arrangement contributes to the unique physical properties of materials that adopt this structure, such as metals. The BCC structure allows for high packing efficiency and is significant in understanding how different elements crystallize under various conditions.
congrats on reading the definition of body-centered cubic. now let's actually learn it.
