To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the information provided and apply the relevant concepts of solid-state chemistry. ### Step 1: Understand the HCP Structure The hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structure is a type of crystal lattice where atoms are packed closely together. In a typical HCP unit cell, there are 6 atoms per unit cell. **Hint:** Remember that the HCP structure is characterized by a specific arrangement of atoms that maximizes packing efficiency. ### Step 2: Determine the Initial Packing Efficiency ...
