Arrange the three common unit cells in order from least dense to most dense packing. a. face-centered cubic < body-centered cubic < primitive cubic b. primitive cubic < body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic c. primitive cubic < face-centered cubic < body-centered cubic d. body-centered cubic < primitive cubic < face-centered cubic e. body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic < primitive cubic

b. primitive cubic < body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic  

Explanation:

The coordination number is defined as the number of atoms (or ions) surrounding an atom (or ion) in a crystal lattice. Its value gives us a measure of how tightly the spheres are packed together. The larger the coordination number, the closer the spheres are to each other.

Therefore, the increasing order in density is the primitive cubic first, then the body-centered cubic, and finally the face-centered cubic.

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
