WebNov 13, 2022 · Close-packed lattices allow the maximum amount of interaction between atoms. If these interactions are mainly attractive, then close-packing usually leads to more energetically stable structures. These lattice geometries are widely seen in metallic, atomic, and simple ionic crystals.
