Answer:

(I) unit cell:

A unit cell is the smallest portion of a crystal lattice which, when repeated in different direction, generates the entire lattice.

(ii) COORDINATION NUMBER:

(ii) Coordination number: The number of nearest neighbours of any constituent particle in a packing is called its coordination number. The coordination number of an atom in the bcc structure is 8

OR

i) Unit Cell:- Smallest element of a crystal lattice which on repetition gives the entire crystal lattice. Eg - cubic unit cell

ii) Coordination Number :- The number of neighbour atoms attached to a central atom . eg - In hcp the C.N is 6
