Fcc Unit Cell Diagram. Now similarly each face center contributes to two unit cells so contribution per unit cell by six face centers is equal to 21. Note that although the unit cell in these crystals is conventionally taken to be a cube the primitive unit cell often is not.

Th part of 8 corner atoms ie 1 atom. Fcc structure in this structure the unit cell contains atoms at the centre of the faces of the unit cell and thus it leads to naming it as face centred. They vary in how the atomsspheres are arranged inside of it. In addition there are 6 atoms at the face centers of the cube.
