Need some clarification on Band Theory
I've been thinking about some stuff lately: Do the energy bands vary with FCC as opposed to BCC? That is what makes a better conductor/insulator? I'm guessing the packing factor plays a role, but not sure what.

From this link: hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/Solids/bandper.html#c1
"The diagram shows that there is a strong correlation between the inter-atomic spacing and the electrical properties of the solid."
Since the packing mode is an important factor in inter-atomic spacing, it therefore affects the band gaps....
