An unknown metal has a density of 7.8748 g/cm 3 and crystallizes using a body-centered cubic unit cell. X-ray crystallography reveals that the length of an edge of this metal’s unit cell is 0.28664 nm. Based on this information, estimate the atomic weight of this element in grams/mole. Also, what is the atomic radius (in nm) for each atom of this metal? Atomic Weight _ g/mole Atomic Radius _ nanometers
