Body centered cubic unit cell

Note: The atom at the centre of the unit cell has been coloured red purely as an aid to visualising the BCC structure. The metals Ba, Cr, Cs, a-Fe, K, Li, Mo, Na, Rb, Ta, V, and W adopt this structure. If the atom in the center of the cube is different than those at the corners, the cesium chloride structure results.
