The edge length (in pm) of the hypothetical metal genchemium is;

a = 0.6367 pm

We are given;

Atomic mass; M = 150 g/mol

Density; ρ = 1.96 g/cm³

This is a BCC structure and as such formula to find the edge length is;

ρ = (z × M)/(N × a³)

where;

z = number of atoms available in each unit cell = 2 atoms

M is atomic mass

N is avogadro's number = 6.023 × 10²³ mols

a is edge length

Thus, making a the subject gives;

a = ∛(z × M)/(N × ρ)

Plugging in the relevant values;

a = ∛(2 × 150)/(6.023 × 10²³ × 1.96)

a = 63.67 × 10⁻⁹ cm

converting to meters gives;

a = 0.6367 × 10⁻⁹ m

converting to pm gives;

a = 0.6367 pm
