Question

How many total constituent particles are present in simple cubic unit cell ? (A) 1 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

A simple cubic lattice has only eight atoms on the comers. As the contribution by each =(1/8) Therefore, number of constituent particles (atoms) present in a unit cell =(1/8) × 8=1

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 $= \frac{1}{8} \times 8 = 1$
