The correct answer is: 1.8×1024

According to the question, Zeff​ For HCP electrons = 6

Number of unit cells in HCP = 16 x 6.023 x 10 23=1.00 x 1023

In one unit cell 12 Tetrahedral and 6 Octahedral voids are present.

Total voids =18 (in one unit cell)

Total number of voids = 18 x 1.00 x 1023=18 x 1023
