The contibution of the particle present at the edge centre of a particular unit cell is :

A

`1//2`

B

`1//4`

C

1

D

`1//8`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Each particle at edge centre is surrounded by four unit cells. Thus, the contribution to each unit cell is `1//4`
