Aluminum has a face-centered cubic unit cell. How many atoms of Al are present in each unit cell
1 answer:
Answer:4
Explanation:
As shown in the image attached, a face-centred cubic structure has 8 atoms at the corners and 6 face center atoms.
Each corner atom contributes to eight cell, so per unit cell 1/8 ×8 =1atom
Face center atoms contributes to two unit cells 1/2 × 6=3atoms
Total atoms =3+1=4atoms
Therefore the atoms in Al FCC per unit cell is 4
