How to Find the Edge Length of a Unit Cell
How can you find the edge length of a unit cell, if you're given the density of the substance and the type of its structure (for example, face-centred cubic)?
Specifically, Elemental magnesium crystallizes in a face-centered cubic lattice. The density of magnesium is 1.738 g/cm3. What is the edge length of the Mg unit cell?
