How many atoms are present in a cubic unit cell having one atom at each corner and two atoms on each body diagonal ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The total contribution by the atoms at four body diagonals present in the cubic unit cell is `8(4xx2=8)` and the contribution by the atoms on the corners s 1. Therefore, total no. of atoms present are 9.
