Answer 4

because I question this because a BCC has 2 atoms in a unit cell

Answer 5

body centered cubic 'unit' cell so

Answer 6

each corner is 1/8 and there are 8 corners in a unit cell so that is one atom and then we have the atom in the center

Answer 7

so its from the center to the corners of this cube, that is the radius?

Answer 8
