Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the number of atoms per unit cell in a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the lattice points in the FCC structure In a face-centered cubic structure, there are atoms located at: - The 8 corners of the cube - The centers of the 6 faces of the cube ### Step 2: Calculate the contribution from corner atoms ...
