To determine the number of lattice points in one unit cell for hexagonal close packing (HCP) and cubic close packing (CCP), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze Hexagonal Close Packing (HCP) 1. **Understanding the Structure**: In HCP, the arrangement consists of two layers of atoms. The base layer forms a hexagon, and the second layer sits in the dimples of the first layer. 2. **Counting Lattice Points**: - Each hexagonal base has 6 corner atoms. ...
