Right option for the number of tetrahedral and octahedral voids in hexagonal primitive unit cell are:
To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of voids in a hexagonal primitive unit cell.In a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure, the number of atoms per unit cell is 6.Let's calculate the number of tetrahedral and octahedral voids:• Each atom in a close-packed structure creates one octahedral void and two tetrahedral voids.• Therefore, the number of octahedral voids per unit cell is equal to the number of atoms, which is 6.• The number of tetrahedral voids is twice the number of atoms, which is Thus, the number of tetrahedral and octahedral voids in a hexagonal primitive unit cell are 12 and 6, respectively.Therefore, the correct option is Option 4: 12, 6.
