Identify the sequence of stacking of third layer on the second of closely packed spheres to generate a three-dimensional hcp structure.
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
In a three-dimensional hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure, the spheres of the third layer are exactly aligned with those of the first layer.
This pattern of stacking is repeated in subsequent layers, generating an ABABAB... sequence.
Therefore, the sequence of stacking to generate an hcp structure is ABABABAB.
Answer: ABABABAB
