The coordination number of each atom in body centered cubic unit cell is

A

`12`

B

`6`

C

`8`

D

`5`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Each sphere is touched by eight neighbors ,four in the layer below and four in the layer above.Alternatively a body centered atoms is in direct touch with `8` corner atoms and each corner atom is shared by `8` unit cells where it is touched by the body centered atoms.
