Answer is: an atom in a pure metal that's face-centered cubic has 12 neighbor atoms.
Fce-centered cubic has eight atoms at each corner of the cube and six atoms at each face of the cube.
Metals that possess face-centered cubic structure are copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag) and gold (Au).
There is three types of cubic cell:
1) simple cubic unit cell.
2) body-centered cubic unit cell.
3) face-centered cubic-unit cell.
