Q- A Compound forms Hexagonal close packed structure. What is the total number of voids in 0.5 mol of it? How many of these are tetrahedral voids?
Answer- Number of Atoms in 0.5 mol = 0.5 x 6.022 x 1023
= 3.022 x 1023 atoms
Number of Octahedral Voids = Number of Atoms
Number of Atoms = 3.022 x 1023 atoms
Now, According to Question,
Number of Tetrahedral Voids = 2 x Number of Atoms
= 2 x 3.022 x 1023
= 6.022 x 1023
Total Number of Voids in 0.5 mol = 3.011 x 1023 + 6.022 x 1023
= 9.033 x 1023
Therefore, the total number of Tetrahedral Voids = 6.022 x 1023 Answer.
The Total Number of Voids in 0.5 mol = 9.033 x 1023 Answer.
