Question
Which of the following information(s) is/are incorrect regarding the voids formed in three dimensional HCP of identical spheres?
Answer: C,D
π‘ Solution & Explanation
Statement (c) is incorrect because an octahedral void, not a tetrahedral void, is formed when triangular voids of two adjacent layers lie over each other. Statement (d) is incorrect because for an octahedral void, the triangular voids in the two layers must be pointing in opposite directions (inverted with respect to each other), not exactly overlapping.
