Bonus Question: The density of potassium metal is 0.856 g/cm³. Potassium atoms crystallize in a body-centered cubic structure. What is the radius (in nm) of a potassium atom? (Hints: Find the number of K atoms in a unit cell. The diagonal of a cube is √3 times the length of an edge, and the diagonal of a face is √2 times the length of an edge.) The images below show a unit cell of a body-centered cubic structure, from two different views.
