• tend to be densely packed (a higher APF).
• have several reasons for dense packing:-Typically, only one element is present, so all atomic
radii are the same.-Metallic bonding is not directional.-Nearest neighbor distances tend to be small in
order to lower bond energy.
• have the simplest crystal structures.

2. To obtain the length of the vector projection on each of the three axes in terms of a, b, and c
3. To reduce them to the smallest integer values
4. The three indices to be enclosed in square brackets, thus [uvw].

X-ray Diffraction
Interplanar spacing:
cubic, dhkl = a / (h2 +k2+l2)1/2
Bragg’ law:
if the path length difference 2dsinq = nl, the interference will be constructive so as to yield a high-intensity diffracted beam.
