    (a) what is the volume of an iron atom

    Volume = mass / density = 7.27x10^-26 kg (1000 g / 1 kg) / (7.87 g / cm^3) = 9.24x10^-24 cm^3

    (b) what is the distance between the centers of adjacent atoms?

    Volume = length of the side of a cube^3

    9.24x10^-24 = length^3

    length = 2.10x10^-8 cm = distance of the centers of the adjacent atoms
