The contribution of particle at the edge centre to a particular unit cell is

Options

  1. A( 1 2 )
  2. B( 1 4 )
  3. C( 11 )
  4. D( 1 8 )

Correct answer

B. ( 1 4 )

Step-by-step solution

The contribution of particle at the edge center to a particular unit cell is ( 1/4 ) as if an atom is present in the edge center it is shared by four unit-cells, that is, ( 4 ) cubes.
