Answer is 0.289nm.
Explanation: The wt % of Fe and wt % of V is given for a Fe-V alloy.
wt % of Fe in Fe-V alloy = 85%
wt % of V in Fe-V alloy = 15%
We need to calculate edge length of the unit cell having bcc structure.
Using density formula,

For calculating edge length,

For calculating
, we use the formula

Similarly for calculating
, we use the formula

From the periodic table, masses of the two elements can be written


Specific density of both the elements are

Putting
and
formula's in edge length formula, we get

By calculating, we get

I looked up what is the molecular formula for Phosphine and got this: PH3
Hope this helps! Let my know if this was correct.
Explanation:
Anions and cations have different atomic sizes than the neutral atoms.
When the bromine atom becomes an anion, it ______ in size.
Anions involves gaining extra electrons. This basically leads to increased repulsion between the electrons and thereby increasing the size. Anions are always larger than the neutral atoms.
This means the answer is A. Increase
When the strontium atom becomes a cation, it ______ in size.
Cations involves losing valence electrons. This basically leads to a decrease in electron shells and electron repulsion thereby reducing the size. Cations are always larger than the neutral atoms.
This means the answer is B. Decrease
