To determine the simplest formula of the compound based on the arrangement of atoms in a cubic unit cell, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Position of A Atoms**: - A atoms are present on alternate corners of the cube. - In a cube, there are 8 corners. Since A atoms are on alternate corners, we have 4 A atoms. - Contribution of each corner atom is \( \frac{1}{8} \). ...
