Tip about crystallography and counting atoms
In crystallography problems, always remember how atoms are arranged in the unit cell and how to count their contributions based on their positions. Atoms at corners contribute \( \frac{1{8 \), at edges \( \frac{1{4 \), at face centres \( \frac{1{2 \), and at body centres contribute 1 full atom.
