The number of nearest neighbours of each atom in cubic close packing.

1.	The number of nearest neighbours of each atom in cubic close packing.
Answer» Hey! Here is the your answer the NUMBER of nearest neighbours of each atom in c. c. p. structure is. 12 actually. cubic close packed structure i.e.c.c.p.i.e.face centred cubic structure i. e. f. c. c.. no. touching atoms in its plane is 4 .,,,, and 4 atoms at the center of ADJACENT faces of its own CELL and 4 atoms at the centre of adjacent faces of NEIGHBOURING cell. .thus total no. of nearest neighbouring atoms SURROUNDING given atom in lattice is 4+4+4=12 this is 100% correct now
