Show that the ideal c/a ratio (height of unit cell divided by edge length) for the HCP unit cell is 1.633. (You may wish to refer to Exercise E.2 in the text page GL 1-6) Comment on the fact that real HCP metals display c/a ratios varying from 1.58 (for Be) to 1.89 (Cd). The atomic radius of HCP Mg is 0.1605 nm. Find the lattice constants, c and a, the c/a ratio and theoretical density for Mg.

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
