Chapter 12, Problem 34
Sodium metal (atomic weight 22.99 g>mol) adopts a body-centered cubic structure with a density of 0.97 g>cm3. (b) If sodium didn't react so vigorously, it could float on water. Use the answer from part (a) to estimate the density of Na if its structure were that of a cubic close-packed metal. Would it still float on water?
