Question

Statement: All atoms in a Bravais lattice has the same coordination number.

State whether the given statement is true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

All atoms in a Bravais lattice have the same coordination number. This is because the constituent particles are systematically arranged in space. Due to this regularly repeated arrangement, the coordination number of all the atoms is the same for any point in Bravais lattice. This means that the number of nearest neighbours is the same. Coordination number is the number of nearest neighbours.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{true}$
