If $M$ is the atomic mass of an element and $a$ is the edge length of the unit cell,then the formula to calculate the density $\rho$ is:

  • A
    $\rho = \frac{n M}{a^3 N_A}$
  • B
    $\rho = \frac{a^3 N_A}{n \times M}$
  • C
    $\rho = \frac{a^3 M}{n N_A}$
  • D
    $\rho = \frac{M N_A}{a^3 n}$
