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.

Is zinc an example of pure metal with a hexagonal close-packed arragements?
Yes, zinc is a pure metal that adopts a hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure at room temperature. In its solid form, zinc atoms are arranged in a close-packed hexagonal lattice structure, making it an example of a pure metal with HCP arrangements.
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.
How many neighbors does a hexagonal close packed crystal have?
it has 12 neighbors
What is the difference between face centered cubic crystal structure and hexagonal close pack crystal structure?
The face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal structure has atoms arranged in a face-centered cubic unit cell with atoms at each corner of the cube and at the center of each face. Hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure has a hexagonal unit cell with atoms at each corner and one in the center of the top and bottom faces. In FCC, the stacking sequence is ABCABC, while in HCP, it is ABABAB.
