Assuming that each silicon atom occupies a volume element shaped like a cube as in part a, how many silicon atoms are at the surface of a 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm cube? What is the ratio of surface atoms to the total number of atoms for this system? Mass density: 3.239 g/cm³ Atomic weight: 28.0855 g/mol

Crystalline silicon has a cubic structure. The unit cell edge length is $543 \mathrm{pm} .$ The density of the solid is $2.33 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}$. Calculate the number of Si atoms in one unit cell.
