Assignment 1 - Chapter 3

This document contains 18 questions about crystal structures, unit cells, Bravais lattices, and calculating properties of different crystal structures including body-centered cubic (BCC), face-centered cubic (FCC), and hexagonal close-packed (HCP). The questions ask about defining terms, listing Bravais lattices, common metal crystal structures, calculating lattice constants and atomic radii, drawing directions and planes in unit cells, and calculating properties like density, planar atomic density, and coordination numbers.
