Consider the body-centered cubic unit cell shown in this image.
How many corner atoms are shown in the image?
How many body atoms are shown in the image?
Each body atom is fully inside the boundaries of the cube. What fraction of each corner atom is inside the boundaries of the cube?
How many body atoms are shown in the image?
Each body atom is fully inside the boundaries of the cube. What fraction of each corner atom is inside the boundaries of the cube?
If all the whole atoms and fractions of atoms are summed, how many atoms are actually inside a body-centered cubic unit cell?
♦ Relevant knowledge
The body-centered cubic (BCC) can be described as the term used to describe an arrangement of atoms that is found in the natural world. Body-centered cubic units comprises atoms inside a cube. Each corner of the cube is an atom as well as one atom in the center.
