Each third layer sphere fits into a depression that is directly over a depression in the first layer b. It has a density lower than scc and bcc. c. It has a packing efficiency (74%) greater than scc and bcc. d. The atoms at the four corners of a face all "touch" the atom at the center of that face, but the atoms at the corners do not touch one another
