occupying the octahedral holes. Notice that the octahedral holes are along the edges (for a net of three cations) and in the center of the cube (one more cation). Thus we have four anions (FCC) and ...

Viruses are nature’s master engineers, capable of encapsulating and delivering genetic material with remarkable precision.

The general formula is AB 2 O 4. The oxygens form an fcc lattice. The A cations occupy tetrahedral holes, and the B cation occupy octahedral holes. It then follows that 1/8 of the tetrahedral holes ...

Six balloons tied together in a bunch arrange themselves in an octahedral fashion. As balloons are popped the resulting number conforms to the molecular shapes of VSEPR theory. To Conduct ...
