Metals that crystallize in a face-centered cubic (FCC) pattern include aluminum, copper, gold, silver, and lead. This structure is characterized by atoms located at each of the corners and the centers of all the faces of the cube, resulting in a high packing efficiency and ductility. FCC metals typically exhibit good conductivity and malleability, making them useful in various applications. Other notable FCC metals include nickel, platinum, and palladium.
