Calculate the average density of a single Al-27 atom by assuming that it is a sphere with a radius of 0.143 nm. The masses of a proton, electron, and neutron are 1.6726 × 1024 g, 9.1094 × 1028 g, and 1.6749 × 1024 g, respectively. The volume of a sphere is 4πr3/3, where r is its radius. Express the answer in grams per cubic centimeter. The density of aluminum is found experimentally to be 2.70 g/cm3. What does that suggest about the packing of aluminum atoms in the metal?
