In hexagonal close packing, the difference in the number of tetrahedral and octahedral voids in a unit cell is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In hcp, the number of atoms present=6=number of octahedral voids.
Number of tetrahedral voids=`2xx6=12`
So, the difference in both the voids is `12-6=6`
