Assertion: The total number of atoms present in a simple cubic unit cell is one.
Reason: Simple cubic unit cell has atoms at its corners, each of which is shared between eight adjacent unit cells.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true, but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In a simple cubic unit cell, atoms are present at each corners and each of it is shared between eight adjacent unit cells. Therefore, the total number of atoms present in a simple unit cell is 8 x 1/8= 1. Thus, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
