It is known that in a simple cubic unit cell the atoms are only present at the corner of the unit cell. This means that there are in total 8 atoms present in a simple cubic unit cell.
Therefore, in one simple cubic unit cell sharing of one atom is only .
Hence, the total number of atoms in a unit cell will be as follows.
= 1
Thus, we can conclude that there is 1 calcium atom present in each unit cell.
While weathering and erosion are similar processes, they are not synonymous. Weathering involves the breakdown of rocks and minerals on Earth, whereas erosion involves the removal of soil and rock materials.
