Chapter 12, Problem 12.79QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The density of ${\text{ReO}}_{\text{3}}$ unit cell is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: Density of a substance is the ratio of its mass and volume. Rhenium trioxide ( ${\text{ReO}}_{\text{3}}$) consists of a cube with rhenium atoms at the corners and an oxygen atom on each of the $12$ edges.

To determine: The density of ${\text{ReO}}_{\text{3}}$ unit cell.
