Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question of how many unit cells are shared by an atom on the face of a unit cell, we can break down the problem into clear steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Unit Cell**: A unit cell is the smallest repeating unit in a crystal lattice. It can have atoms located at its corners, faces, and edges. 2. **Identify the Atom on the Face**: ...
