This is an incomplete question, the given sketch is shown below.
Answer : The name of given unit cell is, FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)
Explanation :
Unit cell : It is defined as the smallest 3-dimensional portion of a complete space lattice which when repeated over the and again in different directions produces the complete space lattice.
There are three types of unit cell.
- SCC (simple-centered cubic unit cell)
- BCC (body-centered cubic unit cell)
- FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)
In SCC, the atoms are arranged at the corners.
The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 1
In BCC, the atoms are arranged at the corners and the body center.
The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 2
The given unit cell is, FCC because the atoms are arranged at the corners and the center of the 6 faces.
The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 4
Thus, the name of given unit cell is, FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)
