Copper has a cubic close pack arrangement of atoms. The atomic radius of copper is 0.1278 nm. Calculate the lattice parameter of the unit cell and the density of solid copper by assuming that the atoms to be hard spheres that touch each other along the face diagonals of the face-centered cubic unit cell. The atomic weight of copper is 63.54 g/mol.
