What is the coordination number of a particle in hcp structure?
- A 2
- B 4
- C 6
- D 12
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 12
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In hcp structures, each sphere is surrounded by 12 neighbouring spheres, 6 in its own layer, 3 above and 3 below. Hence, the coordination number of any sphere in hep structure is 12.
