For an FCC crystal, atoms are in contact along the diagonal of the unit cell.
4r=2a, where a is the edge length of unit cell and r is the radius of atom.
Substituting values in the above expression, we get
r=42×407=143.9 pm
Number of atoms per unit cell (FCC) =4
Mass of 1 unit cell =197×4=788amu=1.66×10−27×788kg=1.30808×10−24kg
Volume of 1 unit cell =(407×10−12)3m3=6.741×10−29m3 =2.824×10−28m3
Density=6.741×10−291.30808×10−24=19404.83kg/m3=19.4g/cm3
