To determine the formula of the alloy consisting of copper, silver, and gold, we need to analyze the arrangement of these atoms in the cubic close-packed (CCP) lattice structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the CCP Lattice:** - In a CCP lattice (also known as face-centered cubic or FCC), there are atoms located at each of the corners and the centers of each face of the cube. - Each unit cell of a CCP lattice contains a total of 4 atoms. ...
