Question

Mention two properties that are commom to both hcp and ccp lattices

Answer 1

There are many similarities and differences between HCP and CCP lattices.

Explanation:

• Both of these are a kind of crystal structure related to closed packed lattices.

• These have similar configurations.

• These configurations are regarding the number 12.

• HCP represents a hexagonal system or packing of lattice while CCP represents a cubical packing system of the lattice.

• The hexagonal system has 2 while cubical has 3 layers.
