Consider the third period of the periodic table. Which element has the smallest atomic radius?

1 answer:

3 0

According to periodic trends in the periodic table, the atomic radius decreases from left to right.

In period three, the element with the smallest atomic radius would be the element in the rightmost area. Protons increase as it goes to the right, which would mean they pull in electrons closer which decreases the size.

So in period 3, the element with the smallest atomic radius is Argon (Ar).

I believe it is c because the least dense would be on top. so x is least dense, then y, and then z

If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 6.50 mm, how many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? the density

Kobotan [32]

Assume that an ingot of copper has a mass of 9.1 kg or 9100 g.

The cross-sectional area of the copper wire with diameter of 6.5 mm (or 0.65 cm) is
A = (π/4)*(0.65 cm)² = 0.3318 cm²

The density of copper is given as 8.94 g/cm³.
If the length of copper wire is L cm, then
(0.3318 cm²)*(L cm)*(8.94 g/cm³) = 9100 g
L = 9100/(0.3318*8.94) = 3.0678 x 10³ cm

Note that
1 cm = 1/2.54 in = 1/2.54 in = 0.3937 in
= 0.3937/12 = 0.03281 ft

Therefore
L = (3.0678 x 10³ cm)*(0.03281 ft/cm) = 100.65 ft

Answer: 100.65 ft
