Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone in this video, we're trying to identify the type of packing that's shown in this illustration here.

Alright, so we can see from the structure that were given here that there's an atom at each corner of the unit cell, so the red ones and the purple ones. And because of this, this fits the exact definition of a simple cubic. So our final answer then, is that the type of packing that's shown below, and this structure here is going to be simple cubic. That's my final answer for this problem.
