lattice points only at eight comers of the unit cell is
Answers
Answer:
It was mentioned above that the (eight) lattice points at the corners of the unit cell contribute only one lattice point to the cell. This is because the lattice points at the corners are shared between eight unit cells. Each corner lattice point therefore is equivalent to 1/8 of a lattice point per unit cell.
Answer: The type of unit cell that has lattice points only at eight comers is called a simple cubic unit cell.
The unit cell is the smallest repeating unit of a crystal lattice, and the eight corners of the unit cell are known as lattice points.
In a simple cubic unit cell, each corner of the cube is occupied by one lattice point. The lattice points are located at the corners of the cube and do not lie within the body of the unit cell.
The simple cubic unit cell is the simplest and most basic type of unit cell, but it is not commonly found in nature because it has a low packing efficiency and does not make efficient use of space.
The packing efficiency of a simple cubic unit cell is quite low, only 52.4% because there is a lot of empty space within the unit cell that is not occupied by atoms or ions. As a result, simple cubic structures are not very common in nature.
