what are the three different packing arrangements found in metallic crystals?
428072
Crystal structures. Most metals and alloys crystallize in one of three very common structures: body-centered cubic (bcc), hexagonal close packed (hcp), or cubic close packed (ccp, also called face centered cubic, fcc).
1030641
In the fcc structures the spheres fill 74 % of the volume. The number of atoms in a unit cell is four (8×1/8 + 6×1/2 = 4). There are 26 metals that have the fcc lattice.

['Lustrous (shiny)', 'Good conductors of heat and electricity.', 'High melting point.', 'High density (heavy for their size)', 'Malleable (can be hammered)', 'Ductile (can be drawn into wires)', 'Usually solid at room temperature (an exception is mercury)', "Opaque as a thin sheet (can't see through metals)"]

The hexagonal closest packed (hcp) has a coordination number of 12 and contains 6 atoms per unit cell. The face-centered cubic (fcc) has a coordination number of 12 and contains 4 atoms per unit cell. The body-centered cubic (bcc) has a coordination number of 8 and contains 2 atoms per unit cell.

Metallic bonding accounts for many physical properties of metals, such as strength, malleability, ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity, opacity, and luster. Metallic BondingLoosely bound and mobile electrons surround the positive nuclei of metal atoms.

Metals are located in s, p, d, and f blocks in the periodic table, though non-metals is located in s and p blocks and metalloids are located in p block of the periodic table. Metals have a shiny appearance, non-metals have a dull appearance; however, metalloids have a shiny and dull appearance.

'AB' has NaCl structure, otherwise known as Rock salt structure. Hence one type of atoms must be arranged in FCC pattern (at all the 8 corners and all the 6 face centers) and other type of atoms must be present on all the 12 edges as well as at the center of the unit cell.

['In physical property metals contains lustrous surface and can polished. [00:07]', 'Metals are solid and heavy, even though sodium, potassium, magnesium, aluminium etc. are comparatively lighter metals. [00:16]', 'Metals are excellent conductor of warm and electricity. [02:40]', 'Melting points and boiling points of metals are very high. [03:19]']

The metals are on the bottom left in the periodic table, and the nonmetals are at the top right. The semimetals lie along a diagonal line separating the metals and nonmetals.

Metallic bonding describes a lattice of positively charged ions, surrounded by a mobile 'sea' of valence electrons. In contrast with ionic bonding, the valence orbitals are delocalized over the entire metal lattice, electrons are free to move and are not associated with individual cations.

['Luster: Metals are shiny when cut, scratched, or polished.', 'Malleability: Metals are strong but malleable, which means that they can be easily bent or shaped. ... ', 'Conductivity: Metals are excellent conductors of electricity and heat.']

['Metals are generally shiny, malleable, and hard. Metals are also good conductors of electricity. ... ', 'Non-metals do not conduct heat or electricity very well. Non-metals are typically brittle and are not easily molded into shapes. ... ', 'Metalloids share characteristics of both metals and non-metals and are also called semimetals.']

Group 2 elements are held together by metallic bonds. ... Moving down the group, the atoms form different crystal structures in the solid phase. Beryllium and magnesium each have a hexagonal close-packed structure; calcium and strontium form face-centered cubic structures; the structure of barium is body-centered cubic.
