How many total numbers of atoms are present per unit cell in primitive cubic unit cell?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3. 1.
Primitive Cubic Unit Cell: Primitive cubic unit cell has atoms only at its
corner.
Since each cubic unit cell has 8 atoms on its corners, the total number of atoms in one unit cell is \(8 \times \frac{1}{8}\) = 1 atom.
