Question

the total number of particles in a body centred cubic unit cell is

Answer 1

Hey Dear,

◆ Answer -

Total number of particles in a body centred cubic unit cell is 2.

◆ In Body Centred Cubic crystal lattice -

At the center,

No of atoms = single atom = 1

At the corners,

No of atoms = 8×1/8 = 1

Total atoms = 1 + 1 = 2

Therefore, total number of particles in a unit cell of BCC is 2.

Hope this helps you.
