A metal crystallizes in a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice. How many atoms are effectively present in one unit cell of this metal?

Q2medium

An element has a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure. If the atomic radius is rr, what is the relationship between the edge length (aa) of the unit cell and rr?

Q3medium
