Structure is determined by two characteristics.

The face centered atoms are shaded differently only for ease of viewing.
The crystal structure of an ionically bonded material is determined by the number of atoms of each element required for charge neutrality and the optimum packing based on the relative sizes of the ions.
Coordination 12.
Bcc stands for body centred cubic structure whereas fcc stands for face centred cubic structure these are forms of cubic lattices therefore these arrangements have spheres atoms molecule or ions from which the lattice is made of arranged in cubic structures.
We will discuss some of the most important structures beginning with those based on fcc.
All atoms are identical.
The terms bcc and fcc are used to name two different arrangements of crystalline structures.
Ceramic composition and properties atomic and molecular nature of ceramic materials and their resulting characteristics and performance in industrial applications.
Key difference bcc vs fcc.
Larger anion radius most ionic crystals can be considered as close packed structure of anions.
Usually they are metal oxides that is compounds of metallic elements and oxygen but many ceramics.

I show that both are actually dep.
Maintain neutrality zero net electric charge.
The building criteria for the ceramic crystal structure are.
Face centered cubic structure fcc close packed directions are face diagonals note.
The ionic and covalent bonds of ceramics are responsible for many unique properties of these materials such as high hardness high melting points low thermal expansion and good chemical resistance but also for some undesirable characteristics foremost being brittleness which leads to fractures unless the material is toughened by.
Ceramic structures two or more different elements more complex than metal structures ionic and or covalent bonds a mix of ionic and covalent bonds electronegativity ionic bonds form ions.
Cn 4 fcc structure of s with zn at interior tetrahedral positions.
Industrial ceramics are commonly understood to be all industrially used materials that are inorganic nonmetallic solids.
