Answer:
6
Explanation:
FCC is face centered cubic lattice. In FCC structure, there are eight atoms at the eight corner of the cubic unit cell and one atom centered in each of the faces. FCC unit cells consist of four atoms, (8/8) at the corners and (6/2) in the faces.
Given that, Cu has FCC structure and it contains a vacancy at origin (0, 0, 0). And there is no other vacancy directly adjacent to the vacancy at the origin. So, all the adjacent positions contain Cu atoms. Hence, the total number of adjacent atoms of the vacancy at origin can jump into this vacancy.
the above FCC unit cell clearly indicates that there are six adjacent atoms adjacent to the vacancy at origin
So, the total number of adjacent atoms of the vacancy at origin can jump into this vacancy is 6.
I am going to say C. it has to do with the angles
It says it will never change. So whatever it was before the change, it will be the same after the change. So, 200 should be correct.
