$\huge{ \boxed { \boxed { \underline{ \bf \purple {\mathbb {ANSWER}}}}}}]$

(i)the atom of corner of a cubic unit cell is shared by eight adjacent unit cells.

Therefore, portion of the atom at the corner = 8 × 1/8 = 1 atom.

(ii) The atoms present at the center of the body is not shared by its neighboring unit cell.

Therefore, portion of the atom at the center = 1 atom
