    Density = mass/volume

    Mass is 3.27 x 10^-13ng.

    Since diameter is 272 pm, the radius is half of that: 137pm.

    Now solve the volume: Vsphere=4/3π (137^3) ≈1091317pm³

    Then solve density:

    3.27x10^-13ng/1091317pm³ ≈3.00x10^-19 ng/pm³

    Convert units: 3.00x10^-19ng x (1 gram/1x10^9 grams) x (1 pm/1x10^-10cm) ³=300g/cm³
