Interpretation:
The average density of the carbon atom is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of that substance. The average density is the average of densities of the substance in the multiple forms. For example, carbon has two isotopes having different masses. Then the average density of carbon is equal to the average mass of carbon divided by its volume.

Concept introduction:
The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of that substance. The average density is the average of densities of the substance in the multiple forms. For example, carbon has two isotopes having different masses. Then the average density of carbon is equal to the average mass of carbon divided by its volume.
Answer to Problem 62E
The density of carbon atom is more because in the carbon forms, the packing of atoms in the crystals is associated with an increase in the volume due to spaces in the crystal. The density is inversely proportional to the volume.
Explanation of Solution
The density of the carbon atom is larger than either of its form as calculated above in part (a). This is because while the formation of the carbon solid the packing of the atoms in the crystal is associated with some spaces. These spaces present in the crystal creates an extra volume due to which the density of the carbon forms falls down. The density is inversely proportional to the volume. More is the volume, lesser will be the density.
The reason why the carbon atom has more density than either of its forms is rightfully stated above.

- On October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size.
