A.) Calculate the packing factor for hydroxyapatite. B.) Determine the specific surface area (m2/g) for hydroxyapatite powder consisting of hexagonal particles with dimensions similar to the unit cell parameters. C.) Calculate the packing factor for the octahedral structure that would be found in a hypothetical composite body centered/face centered cubic unit cell. Show less
