What are voids?How many types of voids are there?

A void is the empty space left between the spheres during their packing in a crystal lattice.

In cubic closed packing, there are two types of voids:

Tetrahedral void - A void in a lattice which is surrounded by four spheres is called a tetrahedral void. The four spheres surrounding the void are arranged on the corners of a regular tetrahedron.

Octahedral void- A void in a lattice which is surrounded by six spheres is called an octahedral void. The six spheres surrounding the void are arranged on the corners of a regular octahedron.

VOIDS ARE THE VACANT SPACES IN THE CRYSTAL LATTICE.TWO TYPES OF VOID ARE TETRAHEDRAL VOID AND OCTAHEDRAL VOID.

I beg your parden ankur sharma there are five types of voids:

1)triangular viod

2)square planar void

3)tetrahedral void

4)octahedral void

5)body centered cubical void

voids are the empty spaces left between the atoms when the are in a packing...the +ve ions settle in those empty spaces surrounded by -ve ions...they are of two types octahedral and tetrahedral
