Which of the following is a crystalline structure in which close packed layers of atoms or ions are stacked as a series of two alternating layers of different relative orientations?

Step 1
Crystalline structures can be classified based on how atoms or ions are arranged in layers. Common types include simple cubic, body-centered cubic, face-centered cubic, hexagonal close-packed, and others. Show more…

Consider the ionic solid $A_{x} B_{y},$ which has the unit cell below. The $B$ ions are packed in a cubic arrangement, where each face has this structure: There is one $B$ in the center of the cube. The structure can also be described in terms of three parallel planes of B's of the type shown above. The resulting structure thus contains eight intersecting cubes of B's. The A ions are found in the centers of alternate intersecting cubes (that is, four of every eight cubes have A's in the center). What is the formula of $\mathrm{A}_{x} \mathrm{B}_{y}$ ? In the extended structure, how many $\mathrm{B}$ 's surround each A? What structure do the B's form? FIGURE CANT COPY
The unit cell of several orthorhombic structures is described below. Draw planes of each and identify the Bravais lattice, P, C, I or F a) One atom per unit cell located at (x', y', z') b) Two atoms per unit cell of the same type located at (0, 1/2, 0) and (1/2, 0, 1/2) c) Two atoms per unit cell, one type located at (0, 0, z') and (1/2, 1/2, z') and the other type at (00(1/2+z')) and (1/2 1/2 (1/2+z')) (hint: draw planes of several unit cells and relocate the origin of the axes, x', y', z' should be taken as small (non-integral) fractions of the cell edge length)

Lattice Structure of Atomic Solids Primitive Body-centered FCC Hexagonal Table 1. 15pts 2D layer pattern (square or close-packed) Stacking pattern (aa, aba, or abc) Unit cell content (N) Coordination Number Simple/Primitive Cubic Body-centered Cubic Face-centered Cubic Face-centered Cubic central atom only Hexagonal Close-Packed (Skip this) Unit cell content (N) - number of atoms inside the unit cell. Calculate this using the contributions of atom (lattice point locations): Each corner atom = 1/8 Each face atom = 1/2 Each body atom = 1 Each edge atom = 1/4
