The packing of atoms in metals that is six-sided is known as hexagonal close packing (HCP). In this arrangement, the atoms are closely packed in a way that each atom is surrounded by six others in the same plane, with additional layers above and below. This structure is characterized by its efficient use of space and is commonly found in metals like magnesium and titanium. HCP allows for high density and stability in the crystal lattice.
