    The document discusses different crystal structures and their atomic packing factors (APF). It defines APF as the ratio of the volume of atoms in a unit cell to the total volume of the unit cell. It then examines the APFs of simple cubic, face-centered cubic (FCC), body-centered cubic (BCC), and hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structures, finding that FCC has the highest APF of 0.74 while BCC is 0.68.
