do you mean polymers or organic compounds?
As you go down a group on the periodic table, atomic radii tend to increase because elements with larger atomic numbers have more occupied electron levels which take up more space surrounding the nucleus.
I hope this helps.
To convert the given value to the desired one, use the proper unit conversions and dimensional analysis. Use the following conversion for the first set.
1 g = 100 cg
1 L = 1000 mL
Using the concept presented above,
V = (59800 cg/L)(1 g/100 cg)1 L/1000 mL)
V = 0.598 g/mL
I would assume so.
Given

, we can simplify the fraction to

Both would obtain the same proportions, so I don't see why putting a half cup of sugar would make things any different.
Hope this is the answer you are looking for.
