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

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine how many atoms constitute one unit cell of a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal, we can break down the contributions from the atoms located at the corners and the faces of the unit cell. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Atoms at the Corners**: - In a face-centered cubic unit cell, there are 8 corners. - Each corner atom is shared by 8 adjacent unit cells. - Therefore, the contribution of each corner atom to the unit cell is \( \frac{1}{8} \). ...
