 Close packing in one dimension
In one dimension close packing, spheres are arranged in a row
such that adjacent atoms are in contact with each other.
Coordination number is defined as the no. of the nearest
neighbors particles. In case of one dimension close packing,
coordination number is equal to two.

Close packing in two dimension

In two-dimensional close packing, rows of closed packed
spheres are stacked to obtain a two-dimensional pattern. This
stacking is done in two ways.
AAA Type: In this type of packing arrangement the two rows
are stacked right above each other. One row is packed directly
above or below the other one. So whether you consider the
stacking horizontally or vertically it will be the same
structure. Here the spheres are directly touching the two
spheres above and below them, and also to two spheres to the
right and the left. So the coordination number of this will be 4.
ABA Type: In this type the spheres of the second row to be
seated on the first row in a staggered manner, that is, in the
depressions of the first layer. The stacking is not uniform as in
the AAA type. Here the spheres are in contact with six other
spheres, so the coordination number is 6. Also when you join
these contact points it will form a hexagonal shape.

VOIDS
Tetrahedral voids are unoccupied empty spaces present in
substances having a tetrahedral crystal system. Octahedral
voids are unoccupied empty spaces present in substances
having an octahedral crystal system.
 Octahedral voids are unoccupied empty spaces present in
substances having an octahedral crystal system. It can be
found in substances having a tetrahedral arrangement in their
crystal system. Tetrahedral voids can be observed in the edges
of the unit cell.

HEXAGONAL CLOSE PACKING

In this three dimensional arrangement of the unit cell, spheres
of the third layer are placed on triangular-shaped tetrahedral
voids of the second layer. The spheres of the third layer lie
exactly above the spheres of the first layer.
 CUBIC CLOSE PACKED(CCP) OR
FACE CENTERED CUBIC (FCC)
STRUCTURE
In a cubic close-packed (ccp) arrangement of atoms, the unit
cell consists of four layers of atoms. The top and bottom
layers (a) contain six atoms at the corners of a hexagon and
one atom at the center of each hexagon. The atoms in the
second layer (b) fit into depressions in the first layer. The
atoms in the third layer (c) occupy a different set of
depressions than those in the first. The cubic close packed
structure can be made by piling layers in the a-b-c-a-b-c-a-b-
c... sequence.
