Here's my best guess
the volume of the unit cell is (385*10^-12)^3=5.7066*10^-29 m^3
multiply by density to get mass mass = (7 g/cm^3)*(100^3 cm^3 / 1^3 m^3) * 5.7066*10^-29 m^3= 3.99466*10^-22 g
covert to moles 3.99466*10^-22 g * 1 mol / 239.82 g = 1.6657 *10^-24 mol
convert to number of units

1.6657 *10^-24 mol * 6.23*10^23 units/mol = 1.04

385 pm = 3.85*10^(-8) cm

The volume of the unit cell is the cube of that, which is 5.71*10^(-23) cm^3. Since the ratio of mass to volume (i.e. the density) must be the same no matter what amount of TlCl you have, you can say:
7 = x/(5.71*10^(-23)), where x is the mass of the unit cell. Solving for x, you get 4*10^(-22) g.

The mass of a molecule of TlCl is 240 amu, which in grams is 4*10^(-22) g. The mass of the unit cell and the mass of a molecule of TlCl is the same. Therefore there is one formula unit of TlCl per unit cell.

Answer:

iIllustrated Glossary of Organic Chemistry - Atomic radius. Atomic radius: The radius of an atom. This distance between an atom's nucleus and outer electron shell. ... Atomic radius differs with the bonding state of an atom (for example an nonbonded atom of an element versus the same element within a covalent bond).
