Q. How many total constituent particles are present in simple cubic unit cell ?

MHT CETMHT CET 2019The Solid State

Solution:

A simple cubic lattice has only eight atoms on the comers. As the contribution by each $=\frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, number of constituent particles (atoms) present in a unit cell $=\frac{1}{8} \times 8=1$
