The number of carbon atoms per unit cell of diamond unit cell is

A

1

B

4

C

8

D

6

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In the diamond cubic unit cell, there are eight corner atoms, six face centered atoms and four more atoms inside the structure.
`therefore` Number of atoms present in a diamond cubic unit cell = 1 + 3 + 4 = 8 atoms
