How many atoms can be assigned to its unit cell if an element forms (i) a body centred cubic cell and (ii) face centred cubic cell ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the number of atoms assigned to the unit cell for elements forming a body-centered cubic (BCC) cell and a face-centered cubic (FCC) cell, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) Structure In a BCC unit cell: - There is **1 atom at the center** of the cube. - There are **8 atoms at the corners** of the cube. ### Step 2: Calculating the Contribution of Corner Atoms in BCC ...
