It has mass and takes up space is correct.
Answer:
The period 4 alkaline-earth metal has the name Calcium. An isotope of this element having 20 neutrons has a mass number of 40.
Explanation:
Looking at the periodic table 4th row for the alkaline-earth metal, we can find Calcium which has an atomic number of 20 (or protons number, or z). The mass number is given by the sum of protons and neutrons. If the number of protons in this case is 20 and the number of neutrons is also 20, the mass number A = 40.
Mass is related to weight. It measures the resistance of the substance to acceleration when a net force is applied.
Therefore: armful of lead has more mass
volume measures the amount of 3-dimensional space that an object occupies.
Therefore: kilogram of feather has more volume as it is less dense.
density is the mass per unit volume. Since armful of lead has more mass than a handful of feathers, while kilogram of feather has more volume than a kilogram of lead.
Therefore: kilogram of lead has higher density.
1 mole of platinum has a mass of 195 g therefore 1 atom will have a mass of 195 g /(6.02 ×10^23) = 3.239 × 10^-22 g
Density is given by dividing mass by volume, thus to get volume, mass is divided by density.
The volume = (3.239 × 10^-22)/21.4
= 1.514 × 10^-23 cm³
But volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Therefore, r³ = 3.6129 × 10^-24
r = ∛(3.6129 × 10^-24)
= 1.534 × 10^ -8 cm
Therefore, the radius of the platinum atom is 1.534 × 10^-8 cm
