To solve the problem, we need to determine the number of atoms of silver in its cubic unit cell and identify its structure. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the given data - **Edge length (a)** = 408 pm = 408 × 10^(-10) cm (since 1 pm = 10^(-12) m, we convert it to cm) - **Density (d)** = 10.6 g/cm³ - **Atomic mass of silver (m)** = 108 g/mol - **Avogadro's number (Na)** = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol ...
