Calcium is used to isolate Rb from molten RbX because calcium has a smaller atomic radius than rubidium.

A chemical element's atomic radius, which is typically the average or typical distance between the nucleus's core and the outermost isolated electron, serves as a gauge for the size of an atom. There are numerous non-equivalent definitions of atomic radius since the border is not a clearly defined physical entity. Van der Waals radius, ionic radius, metallic radius, and covalent radius are the four most frequently used definitions of atomic radius. Atomic radii are typically measured in a chemically bound condition since it is challenging to isolated individual atoms in order to measure their radii individually.

The s orbitals are said to be non directional what does it mean
ser-zykov [4K]

s - orbitals have a spherical symmetry and the probability of finding an electron in an s orbital is equal for equal distance in x, y or z direction. i mean the probability of lets say an electron found at a distance 10 units from nuclues, its value will be same for x, y and z when u go 10 units distnace from nucleus in these directions. then the value at 5 units would be some value which also would be same for x,y and z.

Easier explanation is that if u place a ball, can u tell towards which axis it is oriented? no, its equally in all directions. So, non- directional.

However, if you have p- orbitals like dumb bells, a dumb bell can be oriented in  three different directions, either x or y or z. see the pics.

1.

Density can be defined as the mass of the substance in unit volume.

Density = mass / volume

Hence, g/mL and kg/L can be used as the units of density.

Those units are interchangeable because when converting one unit into other one nothing will happen to the value.

That is because when converting the g into kg, you have to multiply the value by 1 x 10⁻³. When converting mL into L, you should again multiply the volume by 1 x 10⁻³. Then those 1 x 10⁻³ will cancel off and the original value will remain as same.

2.

Answer is 2.70 g/mL.

<em>Explanation;</em>

Mass of the block = 146 g

Volume of the block =  length x width x height

                                  = 6.0 cm x 3.0 cm x 3.0 cm

                                  = 54 cm³ = 54 mL

Density = mass / volume

            = 146 g / 54 mL

            = 2.70 g/mL

3.

Answer is  3.39 g/mL.

<em>Explanation;</em>

When immersing an object in a solution, the increased volume indicates the volume of that object.

Hence,

  Volume of the object = increased volume of water level

                                      = final volume - initial volume

                                      = 27.8 mL - 21.2 mL

                                      = 6.6 mL

Mass of the object = 22.4 g

Density = Mass / Volume

            = 22.4 g / 6.6 mL

            = 3.39 g/mL

4.

Accepted value is the value that scientists and community accept as true. This is a theoretical value.

But the measured value is the value that you obtain from doing experiments. This is the actual value.

If your measured value is more close to the accepted value, then your measured value is more precise. But, if your measured value is far away from accepted value means that your value is not precise and there may have some errors.

5.

Answers : Percent error is 9.11 %

                 The element which has 7.13 g/cm³ as density is Zinc (Zn).

<em>Explanation;</em>

Percent error can be calculated by using following formula.

% error = ( (measured value - accepted value) / accepted value ) x 100%

            = ( (7.78 g/cm³ - 7.13 g/cm³) / 7.13 g/cm³ ) x 100%

            = 9.11 %
