Question

Consider a face centered cubic (fcc) crystal in which one atom is placed at each lattice point. The lattice constant is a = 0.7 \: nma=0.7nm. Calculate the volume density of atoms (i.e. number of atoms per unit volume) in units of cm^{-3}cm−3. Values within 5% error will be considered correct.
