  2. Close-packing of equal spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres

    Six spheres surround an octahedral voids with three spheres coming from one layer and three spheres coming from the next layer. Structures of many simple chemical compounds, for instance, are often described in terms of small atoms occupying tetrahedral or octahedral holes in closed-packed systems that are formed from larger atoms.

  3. Interstitial site - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_site

    If the three atoms in the layer above are rotated and their triangular hole sits on top of this one, it forms an octahedral interstitial hole. [citation needed] In a close-packed structure there are 4 atoms per unit cell and it will have 4 octahedral voids (1:1 ratio) and 8 tetrahedral voids (1:2 ratio) per unit cell. [1]

  4. Tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral-octahedral...

    The gyrated tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb or gyrated alternated cubic honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space made up of octahedra and tetrahedra in a ratio of 1:2. It is vertex-uniform with 8 tetrahedra and 6 octahedra around each vertex. It is not edge-uniform. All edges have 2 tetrahedra and 2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cation-anion_radius_ratio

    This diagram is for octahedral interstices (coordination number six): 4 anions in the plane shown, 1 above the plane and 1 below. The stability limit is at r C /r A = 0.414. The radius ratio rule defines a critical radius ratio for different crystal structures, based on their coordination geometry. [1]

    The structure can also be described as an FCC lattice of sodium with chlorine occupying each octahedral void or vice versa. [ 6 ] Examples of compounds with this structure include sodium chloride itself, along with almost all other alkali halides, and "many divalent metal oxides, sulfides, selenides, and tellurides". [ 7 ]
