Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether all metals possess a closed packed structure, we need to analyze the concept of packing fraction and the types of crystal structures that metals can adopt. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Closed Packed Structures**: Closed packed structures are arrangements of atoms in a crystal where the atoms are packed closely together. The two most common types of closed packed structures are Hexagonal Close Packed (HCP) and Cubic Close Packed (CCP). 2. **Defining Packing Fraction**: ...
