AI Generated Solution

To calculate the number of atoms present in the unit cell of a monoatomic element for different types of cubic lattices, we will analyze each structure step by step. ### (i) Simple Cubic Lattice 1. **Identify the positions of atoms**: In a simple cubic lattice, atoms are located at the corners of the cube. 2. **Count the corner atoms**: There are 8 corners in a cube. 3. **Calculate the contribution of corner atoms**: Each corner atom is shared by 8 adjacent unit cells. Therefore, the contribution of each corner atom to the unit cell is \( \frac{1}{8} \). 4. **Total contribution from corner atoms**: ...
