Solution

  1. The unoccupied or vacant sites present in the lattice of a crystal are called holes, voids or interstices.
  2. Even in the most efficient packing arrangements, like hcp (hexagonal close packing) and ccp (cubic close packing), the spheres cannot fill all available space, leaving these voids.
