mole of potassium = wt of sample ÷ atomic mass
                            = 4 ÷ 39 = 0.102
no. of atoms = moles × avogadro’s no.
                   = 0.102 × 6.022 × 10^23
BCC lattice contains total of 2 atoms : (1/8) contribution of each of 8 corner atoms gives 1 + 1 at body                                                             centre, i.e., intersection of body diagonals.
no. of unit cells = total atoms ÷ atoms per unit cell
                       = (0.102 × 6.022 × 10^23) ÷ 2
                       = 0.102 × 3.011 × 10^23
                       = 3.07122 × 10^22
