Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molar volume is given as 18 cm³/mol. In a cubic closest-packed structure, there are 4 atoms per unit cell. The volume of a single cell can be calculated using the formula: Volume of unit cell = (Molar volume / Avogadro's number) * number of atoms per unit cell. Converting 18 cm³ to pm³ and using Avogadro's number, the calculation results in approximately 1.20 x 10^8 pm³.
