For the hexagonal close-packed crystal: (12 points) a. How many atoms are associated with the unit cell? b. What is the coordination number? c. What is the atomic packing factor?

Answer :

(a) Total number of atoms in the cell = 6

(b) The coordination number of HCP is, 12

(c) The atomic packing factor is, 74.0 %

Explanation :

Hexagonal close-packed structure (HCP) :

Crystal structure : The manner in which the atoms or ions are spatially arranged.

(a) The HCP unit cell consist of three primitive unit cells in a hexagonal prism. That means, 3 atoms are in the middle layer and 12 atoms are at top and bottom layers and 2 face atoms.

So, the total number of atoms in the cell = 3 + (1/2)×2 + (1/6)×6 × 2 = 6

(b) Coordination number : It is defined as any constituent particle in a crystal is the number of its nearest neighbours.

The coordination number of HCP is, 12

(c) Packing fraction or factor : It is defined as the percentage of the total space filled by the particles.

answer: i would say b.

explanation:

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
