A mettalic element crystallises into a lattice containing a sequence of layers of AB AB AB ...any packing of spheres leaves out voids in the lattice . What percentage by volume of this lattice is empty space

Expert Answer:
hcp crystal lattice consists of ABABAB layers.
The packing efficiency for hcp is 74%.
Hence, percentage by volume of the empty space is 26%.
