Answer:
The number of atoms per unit cell in a simple cubic, face-centered cubic and body-centred cubic are 1,4,2 respectively.
(1)
The number of atoms contained in one simple cubic unit cell of monoatomic substance is 1.
8 atoms are present at 8 corners of a simple cubic unit cell. Each atom contributes one eigth to the unit cell. Total contribution =8×

(2)
The number of atoms contained in one face-centred cubic unit cell of monoatomic substance is 4.
8 atoms are present at 8 corners of a fcc unit cell. Each atom contributes one eigth to the unit cell. Total contribution =8×

Total number of atoms in one fcc unit cell =1+3=4.
(3)
The number of atoms contained in one body-centred cubic unit cell of monoatomic substance is 2.
8 atoms are present at 8 corners of a bcc unit cell. Each atom contributes one eigth to the unit cell. Total contribution =8×
