Effective number of atoms in a body centered cubic (BCC) unit cell is equal to _____________

Effective number of atoms in a body centered cubic (BCC) unit cell is equal to _____________ Correct Answer 2

The unit cell of a cube contains eight atoms at the corners, which are shared by the eight adjoining cubes and one atom at the centre of the cube. 8 atoms at the corner: (8×1⁄8) = 1 atom + 1 centre atom in the unit cell, So, there are “2” effective number of atoms in a BCC unit cell.
