Rubidium metal has a body centered cubic structure( with one atom at each lattice point). The density of the metal is 1.532 g/cm^3. From this informationand the atomic mass, calculate the edge lenght of the unit cell. Now assume that rubidium atoms are spheres. Each corner sphere at the unit cell touches the body -centered sphere. Calculate the radius of a rubidium atom.
