Case-1: Read the passage given below and answer the questions (53 to 55) that follow:
A solid is formed by the close packing of atoms. One dimensional close packing of atoms gives a
linear arrangement, that in two dimensions gives square close packed and hexagonal close packed
structures. Close packing in three dimensions can be carried out by using square close packed base
or hexagonal close packed base. Three dimensional close packing of atoms having square close
packed base gives rise to the space lattice with A-A-A….. type layers, whereas the three
dimensional close packing with hexagonal claose packed base may give rise to the space lattice
having AB-AB-AB… and ABC-ABC- ABC… type layers. The unit cells in the three different
layers are respectively SCC, HCP and CCP. In ionic solids the space lattice is formed of the
anions and cations occupy the voids.
