Answer

$0.533\,g/cm^{3}$

Work Step by Step

Number of atoms in a bcc unit cell: $n=2$ Edge length, $a=351\,pm=351\times10^{-10}\,cm$ Molar mass of Li, $M=6.941\,g$ Avogadro's number: $N_{A}=6.022\times10^{23}$ Density= $\frac{n\times M}{a^{3}\times N_{A}}=\frac{2\times6.941\,g}{(351\times10^{-10}\,cm)^{3}\times6.022\times10^{23}}$ $=0.533\,g/cm^{3}$
