which of the following statemets is not true about the hexagonal close packing ?

A

The coordination number is 12

B

It has 74% packing efficiency

C

Tetrahedral voids of the second layer are covered by the spheres of the third layer

D

In this arrangement spheres of the fourth layer are exactly aligned with those of the first layer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
