How many atoms constitute one unit cell of a face-centered cubic crystal ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Number of atoms in one face centered cubic unit cell can be determined from the number of contributed from the face and the corners of the unit cell as :
`(8" corners "xx1/8" atom per corner"=8xx1/8=1" atom")+6" faces"xx1/2" atom per unitface"=6xx1/2=3" atoms")`
