Answer:

Repulsive forces exist only when atoms are very close to each other. (3/14) "They [the atoms] will approach until both nuclei will simply shove each other because both of them are positive." The balance between the attraction and repulsion forces determines how close the atoms can get. The relationships between the magnitude and direction of repulsive and attractive forces. A stable state of a bond is when attractive forces balance repulsion forces. “A stable state between two atoms is when they attract each other with a force that equals the force that they repel each other.”

51. The radius of gold is 144 pm and the density is 19.32 g/cm3. Does elemental gold have a face-centered cubic structure or a b

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Elemental gold to have a Face-centered cubic structure.

Explanation:

From the information given:

Radius of gold = 144 pm

Its density = 19.32 g/cm³

Assuming the structure is a face-centered cubic structure, we can determine the density of the crystal by using the following:

$a = \sqrt{8} r$

$a = \sqrt{8} \times 144 pm$

a = 407 pm

In a unit cell, Volume (V) = a³

V = (407 pm)³

V = 6.74 × 10⁷ pm³

V = 6.74 × 10⁻²³ cm³

Recall that:

Net no. of an atom in an FCC unit cell = 4

Thus;

$density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}$

$density = \dfrac{ 4 \ atm ( 196.97 \ g/mol) (\dfrac{1 \ mol }{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms})}{6.74 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3}$

density d = 19.41 g/cm³

Similarly; For a body-centered cubic structure

$r = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a$

where;

r = 144

$144 = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a$

$a = \dfrac{144 \times 4}{\sqrt{3}}$

a = 332.56 pm

In a unit cell, Volume V = a³

V = (332.56 pm)³

V = 3.68 × 10⁷ pm³

V 3.68 × 10⁻²³ cm³

Recall that:

Net no. of atoms in BCC cell = 2

∴

$density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}$

$density = \dfrac{ 2 \ atm ( 196.97 \ g/mol) (\dfrac{1 \ mol }{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms})}{3.68 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3}$

density =17.78 g/cm³

From the two calculate densities, we will realize that the density in the face-centered cubic structure is closer to the given density.

This makes the elemental gold to have a Face-centered cubic structure.

A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom. Why?

Kay [80]

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.
