Packing in solids

Science > Chemistry > Solid State > Packing in solids In this article, we shall study the different types of close packing of the constituent particles in solids. The Principle of Packing in Solids: In a crystal particle (atoms, molecules or ions) occupy the lattice points in the crystal lattice. These particles may be of […]
