1 Mole of hexagonal packed structure contains 1 mole of octahedral voids and two moles of tetrahedral voids. Therefore, 0.5 moles of hexagonal packed structure contains 0.5 moles of octahedral voids and 1 mole of tetrahedral voids.
No. of tetrahedral voids = 6.022 x 1023
No. of octahedral voids\(\frac{1}{2}\) x no. of tetrahedral voids
