Answer:
Correct Answer: 28.
Solution:
- (a) The unit cell of
has bcc arrangement of ions in which each ion has eight oppositely charged ions around it in the nearest neighbours as shown below :
(b) In bcc, coordination number of atom is 8 .
(c) In an unit cell, a corner is shared in eight unit cells and a face centre is shared between two adjacent unit cells.
(d) In
Hence, a, c, d are correct.
