The total number of atoms in one unit cell of body-centered unit cubic cell is ______ atoms.(a) 4(b) 3(c) 8(d) 2I have been asked this question in homework.Asked question is from Solid State in portion Solid State of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct option is (d) 2

The explanation is: In body-centered cubic unit CELL, ONE atom is present at each of the CORNERS and one atom at its body center.

• 8 corners × \(\FRAC{1}{8}\)th of an atom = 1

• 1 body-centered atom

Thus, the total number of atoms in body-centered cubic unit cell: 1+1=2 atoms.
