Answer

$\rho=2.59\frac{g}{cm^3}$

Work Step by Step

The radius is .215nm, and the atomic weight is 87.62g\mol. $\rho=\frac{nA}{{V_{c}}{N_{A}}}$ for FCC, n=4 and $V_{c}=({16r^3\sqrt{2}})$ $N_{A}=6.023\times10^{23} \frac{atom}{mol}$ is Avogadro's number. $\rho=\frac{4\times87.62}{({16r^3}{\sqrt{2}})\times6.023\times10^{23}}$ $\rho=2.59\frac{g}{cm^3}$
