Question
In which of the following arrangements octahedral voids are formed?
(i) hcp
(ii) bcc
(iii) simple cubic
(iv) fcc

Solution
(i) hcp
(iv) fcc
Explanation:
In hcp and fcc arrangement, octahedral voids are formed. In fcc, the octahedral voids are observed at edge and centre of cube while in bcc and simple cubic, no any octahedral voids are observed. In bcc, cubic voids formed.
