Question

A metallic element crystallizes into a lattice containing a sequence of layers of ABABAB. Any packing of sphere leaves out voids in the lattice. What percentage by volume of this lattice is occupied by voids?

Solution

ABABAB type of arrangement corresponds to hcp or hexagonal close packed structure. For such a structure, the occupied space is $74 %$ . Hence, $100 - 74 = 26 %$ by volume of this lattice is occupied by voids.
