Step-by-step explanation
Body-centered unit cells can be found in the following crystal systems among those listed:
- Cubic: Body-centered cubic (BCC) is one of the lattice structures that cubic systems can have.
- Tetragonal: A body-centered tetragonal system is also a possibility.
- Orthorhombic: The orthorhombic system can have a body-centered orthorhombic lattice.
Therefore, the number of crystal systems from the list where a body-centered unit cell can be found is 3.
