Calculate the number of atoms in a cubic-shared unit cell having one atom on each corner and two atoms one each diagonal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
9

There are four body diagonals and atoms on the body diagonal are not shared by any other unit cell.
`:.` Atoms at the corner `=8xx(1)/(8)=1`
Atoms on the body diagonal `=2xx4=8`
`:. `Total number of atoms `=2xx4=9`
