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 = 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 d = 19.41 g/cm³
Similarly; For a body-centered cubic structure

where;
r = 144


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 =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.
The answer to this question is False
<span>Raising
the temperature of the reactants increases the reaction between the reactants.
The kinetic energy of the molecules of the reactants collides more frequently
with ach other thereby increasing its reaction. Increasing the concentration of
the reactants increases the reaction rate. Adding a catalyst to the reaction
increases the rate of reaction of a substance. The catalyst hastens the
chemical reaction. </span>
