 Coordination number: It is defined as the number of nearest neighbours of a particle in a
close packed structure.
The coordination number of atoms in a cubic close-packed structure is 12 (as each atom is
attached with 12 other atoms) and in a body-centred cubic structure are 8 (because each atom is
attached with 8 other atoms)
