    the density of lithium will be equal to: 0.582 g/cm^3

    Explanation:

    We have the following dа ta:

    a = 430 pm = 4.3x10^-8 cm

    molar mass of lithium MM = 6.97 g/mol

    Since the cubic cell of lithium is cubic centered in the face, its value of Z will be equal to 4

    Avogadro's number AN = 6.022x10^23 particles/mol

    using the following formula we will calculate the density of lithium:

    d = (Z*MM) / (a^3*AN) = (4*6.97) / ((4.3x10^-8) ^3 * (6.022x10^23)) = 0.582 g/cm^3
