The number of nearest neighbors (atoms that make contact) around each atom in a face-centered cubic lattice of a metal is

12

Explanation:

The number of nearest neighbors (atoms that make contact) around each atom in a face-centered cubic lattice of a metal is

12.

This is because in a face centered cubic lattice ,there are ions found at the center of each of the six faces which are usually packed together and in close contact with one another.

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.
