List I Type of Void |
List II Coordination number |
| (A) Trigonal void | (IV) 3 |
| (B) Tetrahedral void | (III) 4 |
| (C) Octahedral void | (II) 6 |
| (D) Cubical void | (I) 8 |
Trigonal void (2-D void): These voids are formed due to surrounding of three spheres in same plane whose centres are at corners of a triangle. Coordination number of a particle present in trigonal void = 3

Tetrahedral void (T-voids): These voids are formed due to close packing of one corner atom and three adjacent face-centered atoms in a cubic unit cell. Surrounding spheres are located at the corners of a regular tetrahedron. Coordination number = 4

Octahedral voids (O-voids): These voids are formed due to overlapping of two trigonal voids of adjacent layers. Surrounding spheres are located at the corners of an octahedron. Coordination number = 6

Cubical voids: These voids are formed by close packing of eight corner atoms in a simple cubic unit cell. Coordination number = 8
