<span>361.4 pm is the length of the edge of the unit cell. First, let's calculate the average volume each atom is taking. Start with calculating how many moles of copper we have in a cubic centimeter by looking up the atomic weight. Atomic weight copper = 63.546 Now divide the mass by the atomic weight, getting 8.94 g / 63.546 g/mol = 0.140685488 mol And multiply by Avogadro's number to get the number of atoms: 0.140685488 * 6.022140857x10^23 = 8.472278233x10^22 Now examine the face-centered cubic unit cell to see how many atoms worth of space it consumes. There is 1 atom at each of the 8 corners and each of those atoms is shared between 8 unit cells for for a space consumption of 8/8 = 1 atom. And there are 6 faces, each with an atom in the center, each of which is shared between 2 unit cells for a space consumption of 6/2 = 3 atoms. So each unit cell consumes as much space as 4 atoms. Let's divide the number of atoms in that cubic centimeter by 4 to determine the number of unit cells in that volume. 8.472278233x10^22 / 4 = 2.118069558x10^22 Now calculate the volume each unit cell occupies. 1 cm^3 / 2.118069558x10^22 = 4.721280262x10^-23 cm^3 Let's get the cube root to get the length of an edge. (4.721280262x10^-23 cm^3)^(1/3) = 3.61426x10^-08 cm Now let's convert from cm to pm. 3.61426x10^-08 cm / 100 cm/m * 1x10^12 pm/m = 361.4 pm Doing an independent search for the Crystallographic Features of Copper, I see that the Lattice Parameter for copper at at 293 K is 3.6147 x 10^-10 m which is in very close agreement with the calculated amount above. And since metals expand and contract with heat and cold, I assume the slight difference in values is due to the density figure given being determined at a temperature lower than 293 K.</span>

According to the Law of Definite Proportions from Dalton's Atomic Theory, each compound is composed of a fixed ratio of each of its individual elements. So, the number of individual elements per 1 particle of that compound is represented by the subscripts. The answers are as follows:

Table sugar: 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen; 11 atoms of oxygen; 45 total atoms
Marble: 1 atom of calcium, 1 atom of carbon; 3 atoms of oxygen; 5 total atoms
Natural gas: 1 atom of carbon, 4 atoms of hydrogen; 5 total atoms
Rubbing alcohol: 3 atoms of carbon, 8 atoms of hydrogen; 1 atom of oxygen; 12 total atoms
Table sugar: 1 atom of silicon; 2 atoms of oxygen; 3 total atoms

What is effective nuclear charge of S2- and S? Does the Zeff differs from ions and atoms of the same element.
Elan Coil [88]
<span>Effective nuclear charge is an estimate of the charge experienced by the valence electrons.
</span><span>Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and a charge of 6+.
</span><span>The 3s electrons in sulfur are the 3p electrons, because the former spend more time closer to the nucleus.</span>
<span>Using Slater's Rules, effective nuclear charge of sulfur is +5.5.

2) No!</span><span> The Zeff doesn't differ from ions and atoms of the same element.</span>
