The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about the simple cubic unit cell, we will break down the problem into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the total number of atoms present in a simple cubic unit cell is 1. - We need to verify if this statement is true. 2. **Understanding the Simple Cubic Unit Cell**: - In a simple cubic unit cell, atoms are located at the corners of the cube. - There are a total of 8 corners in a cube. 3. **Contribution of Atoms at the Corners**: - Each atom at the corner of the unit cell is shared among 8 adjacent unit cells. - Therefore, the contribution of each corner atom to the unit cell is \( \frac{1}{8} \). 4. **Calculating the Total Number of Atoms**: - Since there are 8 corners and each contributes \( \frac{1}{8} \) of an atom, we can calculate the total number of atoms in the unit cell: \[ \text{Total atoms} = \text{Number of corners} \times \text{Contribution per corner} = 8 \times \frac{1}{8} = 1 \] - This confirms that the total number of atoms present in a simple cubic unit cell is indeed 1. 5. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that the simple cubic cell has atoms at its corners, each of which is shared between eight adjacent unit cells. - This statement is accurate as it correctly describes the arrangement of atoms in a simple cubic unit cell. 6. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion, we conclude that: - Assertion (A) is true. - Reason (R) is true and correctly explains (A). ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ---

To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about the simple cubic unit cell, we will break down the problem into clear steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that the total number of atoms present in a simple cubic unit cell is 1. - We need to verify if this statement is true. ...
