How many atoms are present in hcp per unit cell?
- A 4
- B 2
- C 1
- D 6
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 6
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a hexagonal close packing (hcp) unit cell, the number of atoms is calculated by summing the contributions from atoms at different positions. The unit cell has 12 atoms at the corners of the hexagonal faces, each contributing \(\dfrac{1}{6}\) to the unit cell. Thus, the…
