Question

Statement: The cubic close-packed structure is based on an fcc unit cell.

State whether the given statement is true or false

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Cubic closed packed (ccp) structure: This structure has 3-fold axes of symmetry which pass through the diagonal of the cube since in this system, there is a sphere at the centre of each face of the unit cell and hence, this structure is also known as face-centred cubic (fcc) structure.

Hence, the given statement is $\text{true}$
