For a solid with the following structure, the coordination number of the point B is:
Correct answer: D. 6
- A. 3
- B. 4
- C. 5
- D. 6
Explanation
It is evident from the figure that B occupies octahedral voids and thus coordination number is 6.

About Crystal Lattice
A crystal lattice is the regular three-dimensional arrangement of particles in a crystalline solid. The content includes lattice points, unit cells, coordination number, packing patterns, and the differences among ionic, metallic, molecular and covalent network crystals, which should not be confused with amorphous solids.
