Dear shefali

File:Orthorhombic.png

volume of the unit cell = abc =6.8*4.4*7.2 =215.424 A= 2.154 *10-22 cc

each unit cell has 4 molecules  so mass of each unit cee  = 4*21.76/(6.023 *1023)

                                                                                =1.445 * 10-22  gm

so density =1.445 * 10-22  gm/2.154 *10-22 cc 

                    =.671 gm/cc
