If the exact outer limit of an isolated atom cannot be measured, what criterion can we use to determine atomic radii? What is th

e difference between a covalent radius and a metallic radius?
Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Calculate the atomic radii of two touching or overlapping atoms.

Explanation:

No doubt, we can't find the atomic boundary of a single atom, but when atoms are in the form of pairs it becomes very easy to measure the atomic radii of two and then dividing it by 2 to get an estimate of atomic radius of a single atom.

It is also called as covalent radius which is half of the total inter-nuclear distance between two same bonded atoms (Homo-nuclear).

If two adjacent mettalic ions are joined by such pairing then the same half of the distance between the nucleus is termed as metallic radii.

Once the torch is lit why must the acetylene flow be increased until the flame stops smoking
mojhsa [17]
Once the torch is lit, the acetylene flow must be increased until the flame stops smoking <span>before the oxygen is turned on for adjustment in order to keep the tip of the torch cool.

You should also note that while lighting the torch, you should keep the spark lighter near the tip but not covering it.</span>

Isotopes of carbon differ with the respect to the number of
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Neutrons.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as the atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. This ultimately implies that, the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (number of protons) but different atomic mass (number of nucleons).

The isotope of an element is denoted by X^{A}_{Z}

Where; X is the symbol of the element.

A is the atomic mass or number of nucleons.

Z is the atomic number or number of protons.

<em>Therefore, the number of neutrons = A - Z</em>

<em>Isotopes of carbon differ with respect to the number of neutrons.</em>

<em>Basically, there are three (3) Isotopes of Carbon and these are;</em>

<em>1. Carbon-12: it has an atomic mass of 12 with 6 numbers of proton and neutron respectively. </em>

<em>2. Carbon-13: it has an atomic mass of 13 with 6 numbers of proton and 7 numbers of neutron. </em>

<em>3. Carbon-14: it has an atomic mass of 14 with 6 numbers of proton and 8 numbers of neutron.  </em>

A 4.24 kg marble slab has the volume of 1564 cm3 What is the density in g/cm3
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2.71 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

volume of marble = 1564 cm³

1 kg = 1000 g

4.24 kg = 4240 g

mass = 4240 g

The density is

density =  \frac{4240}{1564}   \\  = 2.710997442...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.71 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
