(b)
Answer to Problem 56SEP
The most probable crystal structure for this copper and nickel alloy is FCC.
Explanation of Solution
Write the information data for copper and nickel as in Table (1).
Element | Crystal structure |
Copper | FCC |
Nickel | FCC |
As both of the copper and nickel have similar FCC crystal structure, then the formed alloy will also have the FCC structure.
Hence, the most probable crystal structure for this copper and nickel alloy is FCC.
