Question

If the potassium atoms could be lined up in a row, how many of them would it take to make a 1.00 ft row of potassium atoms?

Answer 1

If the potassium atoms could be lined up in a row, it would take to make a 1.00 ft row of potassium atoms is 5.45 × 10⁻⁸.

Potassium atom is represented by K with atomic number 19. It is a silvery white metal.

Given,

Radius = 280pm = 280 × 10⁻¹²m

Diameter = 2radius = 560× 10⁻¹²m = 560pm

We know that,

1 feet = 0.305m

So, number of potassium atoms that fits into the row,

1 feet = 0.305/560 × 10⁻¹²

1 feet = 5.45 × 10⁻⁸

Hence, it takes 5.45 × 10⁻⁸ atoms of potassium to make a 1 feet row.
