Solution
In a two-dimensional hexagonal close packing (2D hcp) arrangement, each particle is surrounded by six nearest neighbours. This means that every particle is in direct contact with 6 other particles around it in the same plane. Hence, the coordination number in a 2D hexagonal close packing is 6.
