Gold crystallises in fcc lattice. The edge length of the unit cell is \(4 Å\). The closest distance between gold atoms is ' \(x\) ' \(Å\) and density of gold is ' \(y\) ' \(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}\). What are \(x\) and \(y\) respectively?
\(\left(\right.\) Molar mass of gold \(\left.=197 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} ; \mathrm{N}=6 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)\)
