Question

At room temperature, Iron is ____ in lattice arrangement

• A. HCP
• B. BCC
• C. Tetragonal
• D. FCC

Hint:

BCC structures are common in many metals at lower temperatures, contributing to their strength and brittleness.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

At room temperature, iron exists in a Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) lattice structure. This is typical of alpha iron (\(\alpha\)-iron), which is stable at temperatures below 912°C.
