Lithium has a bcc structure. Its density is kg m and its atomic mass is g molCalculate the edge length of a unit cell of Lithium metal (in pm).
To solve this problem, we need to find the edge length of a unit cell of Lithium, which has a bcc (body-centered cubic) structure.Given:• Density of Lithium kg m g cm• Atomic mass of Lithium g mol• Avogadro's number molIn a bcc structure, there are 2 atoms per unit cell.The formula for density is:Where:• (number of atoms per unit cell for bcc)• edge length of the unit cell in cmRearranging the formula to solve for Substitute the known values: cmTaking the cube root to find cmConvert from cm to pm: cm pm pm pmTherefore, the edge length of the unit cell of Lithium is pm, \\ which corresponds to Option 2.
