How much part of any corner atom actually belongs to a particular unit cell?
- A \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) th
- B \(\dfrac{1}{6}\) th
- C \(\dfrac{1}{8}\) th
- D \(\dfrac{1}{10} \mathrm{th}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\dfrac{1}{8}\) th
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In a simple cubic unit cell, each corner atom is shared by 8 adjacent unit cells. The contribution of an atom located at the corner of a unit cell is calculated by considering the number of unit cells that share this corner. Since 8 unit cells meet at each corner, the portion of…
