Metallic copper adopts an fcc structure with density 8960 kg m 3 . Draw the unit cell

Question:

Metallic copper adopts an fcc structure with density 8960 kg m−3. Draw the unit cell of copper and mark the shortest copper atom to copper atom distance. How many copper atoms are there in the unit cell? Use the density and mass of the unit cell to determine the lattice parameter for copper and hence calculate a value for the metallic radius of copper.
