There is a colllection of crystalline substances in a hexagonal close packing. If the density of matter is `2.6 g//cm^3`, what would be the average density of matter in collection ? What fraction of the space is actually unoccupied ?

Answer» In hexagonal close packing , packing efficiency is 74 %
`therefore` Density of matter = Packing fraction x Total density =`74/100xx2.6=1.924 "g/cm"^3`
% empty space (space unoccupied ) =100-74=26%
