Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A, C, D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Coordination numbers.
BCC → coordination = 8 → (A) correct.
FCC → coordination = 12, not 6 → (B) incorrect.
Diamond → coordination = 4 → (C) correct.
HCP → coordination = 12 → (D) correct.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Correct set is (A), (C), (D).
