Question:

Match List I with List II.

List I

Unit Cell

List II

No. of atoms per unit cell

(A) Simple (I) \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 + 0 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 2 
(B) Face centered (II) \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 + 1 x 1 + 0
(C) Body centered (III) \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 + 0 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 6  
(D) End face centered (IV) \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 + 0 + 0

 

Options:

(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

(A)-(IV), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(I)

(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I).

List I

Unit Cell

List II

No. of atoms per unit cell

(A) Simple (IV) \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 + 0 + 0
(B) Face centered (III) \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 + 0 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 6 
(C) Body centered (II) \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 + 1 x 1 + 0
(D) End face centered (I) \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 + 0 + \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 2

 

Unit Cell Number of atoms Total number of atoms per unit cell
At corners At body center On faces
1. Simple \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 = 1 zero zero 1 + 0 + 0 = 1
2. Face centered \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 = 1 zero \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 6 = 3 1 + 0 + 3 = 4
3. Body centered \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 = 1 1 zero 1 + 1 + 0 = 2
4. End face centered \(\frac{1}{8}\) x 8 = 1 zero  \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 2 = 1 1 + 0 + 1 = 2
