Why uncharged atoms or molecules never crystallize in simple cubic lattice ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why uncharged atoms or molecules never crystallize in a simple cubic lattice, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Simple Cubic Lattice**: - A simple cubic lattice is a type of crystal structure where atoms are located at the corners of a cube. Each atom in a simple cubic lattice is in contact with only 6 other atoms. 2. **Nature of Uncharged Atoms**: ...
