Solution

The correct option is C 9.033×1023
In hcp, there are 6 atoms per unit cell.
N=6
Number of octahedral voids =N=6
Numer of tetrahedral voids =2N=2×6=12

Total number of voids per unit cell =18
Total number of voids per atom =186=3

Thus, the total no. of voids per mole will be 3×6.023×1023

In 0.5 mol compound,
Total no. of voids =3×0.5×6.023×1023=9.034×1023
