The number of atoms for primitive unit cell is ________, for body centred cubic unit cell is _______ and for face centred cubic unit cell is ___________.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the number of atoms in different types of unit cells, we will analyze each type of unit cell: primitive (simple cubic), body-centered cubic (BCC), and face-centered cubic (FCC). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Primitive Unit Cell (Simple Cubic)**: - In a simple cubic unit cell, atoms are located only at the corners of the cube. - There are 8 corners in a cube. - Each corner atom is shared by 8 adjacent unit cells, contributing \( \frac{1}{8} \) of an atom to the unit cell. ...
