The elements A and B crystallize in bcc and fcc structures, respectively. Suppose that (i) the crystals of A and B have the same density, and (ii) the nearest-neighbor distances in these crystals are equal. Calculate the ratio MA/MB, where MA and MB denote the masses of the A and B atoms, respectively.
