Paragraph for Question No. 36 to 38

In hexagonal systems of crystals, a frequently encountered arrangement of atoms is
described as a hexagonal prism. Here, the top and bottom of the cell are regular hexagons
and three atoms are sandwiched in between them. A space-filling model of this structure,
called hexagonal close-packed (HCP), is constituted of a sphere on a flat surface surrounded
in the same plane by six identical spheres as closely as possible. Three spheres are then
placed over the first layer so that they touch each other and represent the second layer. Each
one of these three spheres touches three spheres of the bottom layer. Finally, the second
layer is covered with a third layer that is identical to the bottom layer in relative position.

25. If number of lattice points are N.

then effective octahedral voids = N
So, octahedral voids / lattice site = 1

(TV).

A truncated octahedron is cut at the corners so while a normal octahedron will have 8
triangular planes, a truncated octahedron will have 8 hexagonal planes.]
