By X-ray studies, the packing of atoms in a crystal of gold is found to be in layers such that starting from any layer, every fourth layer is found to be exactly identical . The density of gold is found to be `19.4 g cm^(-3)` and its atomic mass is 197 a.m.u. The coordination number of gold atom in the crystal isA. 4B. 6C. 8D. 12 |
Answer» Correct Answer - D The arrangement of layers is ABC ABC…. Type, i.e., it has cubic close packing arrangement . Hence, the coordination number is 12. |
