In HCP or CCP, constituent particles occupy 74% of the available space. The remaining space (26%)
in between the spheres, remains unoccupied and is called interstitial voids or holes. Considering the
close packing arrangement, each sphere in the second layer rests on the hollow space of the first
layer, touching each other. The void created is called tetrahedral void. If R is the radius of the
spheres in the close packed arrangement then,
r (radius of tetrahedral void) = 0.225 R
In a close packing arrangement, the interstitial void formed by the combination of two triangular
voids of the first and second layer is called octahedral void. Thus, double triangular void is
surrounded by six spheres. The center of these spheres on joining, forms octahedron. If R is the
radius of the sphere in a close packed arrangement then,
r (radius of octahedral void) = 0.414R.
