Interpretation: To determine the arrangement of the metallic crystal.
Concept Introduction: Atoms of the same metallic element bound together by metallic bonding produce solids known as metallic crystals.
Answer to Problem 24LC
They will have closed packed arrangement that will help to save when they were stacked up high.
Explanation of Solution
Metallic crystal has a closed-packed arrangement. They are arranged in a closed-packed configuration that helps conserve space and enables the highest possible stacking of metal atoms.
The most compact or space-saving arrangement of crystal structures is referred to as "closest packed structures" Think of an atom as a spherical inside a crystal lattice. The arrangement is similar to fruit stacking.
