Briefly in your own words, describe the face-centered cubic unit cell in such a way that someone reading only your description, would be able to make a reasonable sketch of the structure.

Face-centered Cubic Unit Cell (FCC) is consists of 8 atoms at the corners (one atom at each corner) and 6 atoms are present at the face-center (one atom at each face). Each eight atoms at corners contribute 1/8 and six atoms at faces contribute  1/2 in each unit cell.

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
