Two SPHA032 students were arguing during lunch at the university of Limpopo cafeteria about whether Niobium (Nb) is a BCC or FCC structure. In order to help them resolve their argument determine yourself whether Niobium is BCC or FCC by calculating the density of Nobium given that its density is 8.57 g/cm³ with radius 1.43 X 10 cm, and its atomic weight is 92.91 g/mol. Use provided constants and the periodic table attached
