Question

The density of a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal is:

• A. \( \frac{4M}{\sqrt{2}a^3} \)
• B. \( \frac{4M}{a^3} \)
• C. \( \frac{6M}{a^3} \)
• D. \( \frac{2M}{a^3} \)

Hint:

Understanding the relationship between atomic mass and unit cell dimensions is crucial for calculating the density of crystalline materials, which has implications in material science and engineering.
