Calculate the number of atoms in a cube ...

Calculate the number of atoms in a cube based unit cell having one atom on each corner and two atoms on each body diagonal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There are total 4 body diagonals and there are 2 atoms at each body diagonal.
Hence number of atoms from 4 diagonals=8
Number of atoms from 8 corners =1
`therefore` Total number of atoms in this unit cell =8+1=9
