Answer:

The unit cell edge lenght in pm is equal to 361 pm

Explanation:

Data provided:

ρ=Copper density=8.96 g/cm3

Atomic mass of copper=63.54 g/mol

Atoms/cell=4 atoms (in theory)

Avogadro's number=6.02x10^{23} atoms/mol

Since copper has a cubic structure, its cell volume is equal to a^{3}, which can be obtained through the relationship:

cell volume=\frac{(atoms/cell)(atomic mass)}{(density)(Avogadros number)}

Substituting the values:

cell volume=\frac{(4 atoms)(63.54 g/mol)}{(8.96 g/cm3)(6.02x10^{23}) }=4.71x10^{-23}cm^{3}

clearing, we have:

a=\sqrt[3]{4.71x10^{-23}cm^{3}  }=3.61x10^{-8}cm

We convert from centimeter to picometer, 1cm=1x10^{10}pm

a=3.61x10^{-8}cmx\frac{1x10^{10}pm }{1cm} =361 pm

rosijanka [135]
A C and D are all correct, Helium and Hydrogen only have a 1s orbital, and helium has 2 protons, while hydrogen has 1, and finally Hydrogen has no neutrons while helium has 2. Helium does not however have 8 valence electrons as the 1s orbital can only hold 2, meaning B is the “correct” (false) answer.

What volume would 3 moles of hydrogen gas occupy at stp?
Alchen [17]
22.4 L<span>So, if 1 mole occupies 22.4 L, the imediate conclusion is that a bigger number of moles will occupy more than 22.4 L, and a smaller number of moles will occupy less than 22.4 L. In your case, 3 moles of gas will occupy 3 times more volume than 1 mole of gas.</span>

Which group of elements will readily lose one electron to meet the octet rule? Alkaline Earth Metals c. Halogens Alkali Metals d
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Alkali metals

Explanation:

The alkali metals are a group of metallic elements which are present in the first group of the periodic table. In other words, they are present in group 1 of the periodic table. These elements have one electron in their valence shell, the reason why they are placed in group 1.

They ionize by losing one electron to achieve the configuration of the nearest Noble gas or inert gas. Because they need to offset only one electron in their outermost shell, they are very chemically reactive and hence rarely occur in the free state.

Examples of elements in this group include lithium, potassium and sodium. They each have one electron only in their outermost shells.
