The formula for density is density = \frac{number of atoms in FCC * atomic weight}{ radius^{3}*Na}. Substituting the given, the density is 162.69 g/cm3.

<u>Answer:</u> The density of metal X is 7.19g/cm^3

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Atomic radius of metal X = 1.20\times 10^2pm=120pm

To calculate the edge length, we use the relation between the radius and edge length for FCC lattice:

a=2\sqrt{2}R

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a=2\sqrt{2}\times 20=339.4pm

To calculate the density of metal, we use the equation:

\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}

where,

\rho = density

Z = number of atom in unit cell = 4  (FCC)

M = atomic mass of metal = 42.3 g/mol

N_{A} = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}

a = edge length of unit cell = 339.4pm=339.4\times 10^{-10}cm    (Conversion factor:  1cm=10^{10}pm  )

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\rho=\frac{4\times 42.3}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times (339.4\times 10^{-10})^3}\\\\\rho=7.19g/cm^3

Hence, the density of metal X is 7.19g/cm^3

Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.

Which best explains what happens to the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?A They are incorporated into molecu
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

A They are incorporated into molecules of sugar.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the metabolic process whereby sugar molecules are synthesized by plants in the presence of sunlight (light energy). For this process to occur, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are needed as reactants from external sources. Hence, the photosynthetic equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

According to this question, the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide are incorporated into sugar molecule (glucose). It takes 6 carbon atoms to produce one glucose molecule (C6H12O6). This process involves series of reaction in the light-independent stage of photosynthesis to occur.

What does it mean for a element of a group to have a order?
lisabon 2012 [21]

In group theory, a branch of mathematics, the term order is used in two unrelated senses:

<span><span>The order of a group is its cardinality, i.e., the number of elements in its set. Also, the order, sometimes period, of an element a of a group is the smallest positive integer m such that <span>am = e</span> (where e denotes the identity element of the group, and am denotes the product of m copies of a). If no such m exists, a is said to have infinite order.</span><span>The ordering relation of a partially or totally ordered group.</span></span>

This article is about the first sense of order.

The order of a group G is denoted by ord(G) or | G | and the order of an element a is denoted by ord(a) or | a |.

If an object is on top of a hill or in a position raised above the ground, it must have __________.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The force applied to the object is an external force, from outside the system. When it does positive work it increases the gravitational potential energy of the system. Because gravitational potential energy depends on relative position, we need a reference level at which to set the potential energy equal to 0.
