What is ABC type of packing?


What is ABC type of packing? As we add more layers of atoms, the sequence of layers will become A-B-C-A-B-C-A-B-C... So, it is said to be ABC packing or cubic close packing. In this arrangement, a substance AB crystallizes in cubic closest packing ( CCP) with B occupying half the tetrahedral voids.
