The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that a particle at the corner of a CCP (Cubic Close Packing) unit cell contributes \( \frac{1}{8} \) of its total to the unit cell. - In a CCP unit cell, which is also known as the Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) structure, particles are located at the corners and the face centers. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that in any space lattice, the corner of the unit cell is always shared by eight unit cells. - This means that any atom located at a corner of the unit cell is actually part of eight adjacent unit cells. 3. **Contribution Calculation**: - Since a corner atom is shared by 8 unit cells, the contribution of one corner atom to the unit cell is calculated as: \[ \text{Contribution} = \frac{1 \text{ atom}}{8 \text{ unit cells}} = \frac{1}{8} \] - Therefore, each corner atom contributes \( \frac{1}{8} \) of its total to the unit cell. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true. The reason correctly explains why the assertion is true. - Thus, the final conclusion is that both statements are valid and the reason provides the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion.
