Question
  1. An unknown metal has a density of 7.8748 g/cm 3 and crystallizes using a body-centered cubic unit cell.  X-ray crystallography reveals that the length of an edge of this metal’s unit cell is 0.28664 nm.  Based on this information, estimate the atomic weight of this element in grams/mole.  Also, what is the atomic radius (in nm) for each atom of this metal?
