Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\operatorname{Density}(\rho)=\frac{Z \times M}{N_A \times a^3}\) Given, \(\begin{aligned} & \rho=7.6 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^3 \\ & a=290 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m} \\ & =290 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned}\)…
