Question

The intermetallic compound LiAg crystallizes in a cubic lattice in which both lithium and silver have co-ordination number of $8$. The crystal class is:

• A. simple cubic
• B. body-centered cubic
• C. face-centered cubic
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

body-centered cubic

As we know, bcc has co-ordination number of $8$ and so, the crystal class here, is bcc.
