Expert Solution
Step 1

Both the questions are from solid state chemistry and their lattice structure.

We will be dealing with CsCl structure in Q1 and NaCl structure in Q2.

We know the contribution of each corner particle to the unit cell is 1/8.

The contribution of a particle at the body centre to the unit cell is 1.

Similarly at face centre it is 1/2 and 1/4 in case of atom present at edge centre.
