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

Which of these molecular electron configurations describe an excited state?
kherson [118]
<span>We have ground strate configurations of electrons,if electrons are filled in order of increasing energy. When there are electrons are in higher orbitals, we have an atom in an excited state. B, and C are excited states. In B, 2 electrons can fit in the 4s orbital, and that should fill fully before the 4p orbitals. In C, the same is true for 5s and 5p In D, this is not an excited state because 4s fills before 3d</span>

A piece of copper has a mass of 660 g. How many atoms does the sample contain?
son4ous [18]
The conversions that will be used are:

1 mole of copper / 63.5 grams of copper
6.02 x 10²³ atoms of copper / 1 mole of copper

Multiplying the given mass by these conversions,

660 g * (1 mol Cu / 63.5 g Cu) * (6.02 x 10²³ Cu atoms / 1 mole Cu)

The sample contains 6.25 x 10²⁴ atoms of copper
