Another way of describing the arrangement of atoms is by identifying layers.
In the hexagonal close pack, the base layer consists of six atoms in a hexagon around a central atom.
The next layer is the same, but it is stacked above the first layer by having the atoms nestle in the spaces between atoms.
The third layer is like the first, and so on.
This structure allows the atoms to fill the available volume very effectively, much more so than the simple cubic structure. This is why very few atoms form solids with simple cubic unit cells but very many have the hexagonal close pack structure. cobalt is an example of a hexagonal close pack solid.

What is the difference between face centered cubic crystal structure and hexagonal close pack crystal structure?
face centre cubic crystal has eight atoms in each corner and one atom in the centre of cubic unit cell.while hexagonal close packed structuree has only six atoms in corners but no in the centre of cubic cell

Yes, the crystalline structure of zinc is hexagonal.
What is CPH?
CPH also frequently called HCP - is Close Packed Hexagonal (or hexagonal close packed). It is an arrangement of atoms in a crystal structure. It can mean quite a few other things, one of which is the IATA code for Copenhagen airport. See the related link for more information.
