4. No, there is a single atom, and thus only one term in the structure factor. Therefore the structure factor is non-zero.

5. No, an increase of the unit cell size cannot create new diffraction peaks (see lecture). Even though the increase leads to extra reciprocal lattice points, the structure factor will cancel their contributions to the scattered wave amplitudes.
