Iron crystallizes in several modifications. At about 911oC, the bcc 'α' form undergoes a transition to fcc 'γ' form. If the distance between two nearest neighbours is the same in the two forms at the transition temperature, what is the ratio of the density of iron in fcc form ρ2 to the iron in bcc form ρ1 at the transition temperature?
