To calculate the volume of a unit cell of lithium metal, which has a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure, we can use the following steps: ### Step 1: Gather the given data - Density of lithium (ρ) = 0.53 g/cm³ - Molar mass of lithium (M) = 6.94 g/mol - For a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure, the number of atoms per unit cell (Z) = 2 ### Step 2: Use the formula for density ...
