Using arrangement (a), how many rb atoms could be placed on a square surface that is 9.5 cm on a side? the diameter of a rubidiu

m atom is 4.95å. we will consider two different ways of placing the atoms on a surface. in arrangement (a), all the atoms are lined up with one another. arrangement (b) is called a close-packed arrangement because the atoms sit in the "depressions" formed by the previous row of atoms:

Part a

Answer: 3.64\times10^{16}

For the arrangement considered in part a, all the atoms are aligned side by side along the side of the square surface.

Along one side of the square, the number of atoms that could fit =\frac {length\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}side}{diameter\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}atom}=\frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.95\times10^{-10}m}=1.91\times10^8 atoms

This is along one side. On the entire surface:

Number of atoms = (1.91\times10^8 )^2=3.64\times10^{16} atoms

Part b

Answer: 4.23\times10^{16}

consider the attached figure below:

The next layer of atoms are filled in the depressions of the first layer. The vertical distance between the two atoms would change. Consider an equilateral triangle drawn by joining the centers of the three atoms.

The atoms along the horizontal side would be aligned side by side; same as above =1.91\times10^8 atoms

The number of atoms along vertical side would vary. vertical distance between two atoms can be calculate using equilateral triangle as shown below.

an equilateral triangle has all the angles = 60^o

Let the vertical distance be y.

Then, y = 2r sin60^o

where r is the radius of each atom. 2r= 4.95\times10^{-10} m

y=4.95\times10^{-10} m\times sin60^o=4.28\times10^{-10} m

The number of atoms along the vertical side = \frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.28\times10^{-10}m}=2.21\times10^8 atoms

Total number of atoms in this kind of arrangement = 1.91\times10^8\times2.21\times10^8=4.23\times10^{16} atoms

Which is an example of current electricity
Reil [10]

Answer:

A or B you choose

Explanation:

This is called current electricity or an electric current. A lightning bolt is one example of an electric current, although it does not last very long. Electric currents are also involved in powering all the electrical appliances that you use, from washing machines to flashlights and from telephones to MP3 players.

what is an electrical current, amp, ampere Current is the flow of electrons. When a circuit is closed then a current of electrons can flow and when a circuit is open then no current can flow. We can measure the flow of electrons just like you can measure the flow of water through a pipe.

ou purchase a rectangular piece of metal that has dimen- sions 5.0 * 15.0 * 30.0 mm and mass 0.0158 kg. The seller tells you tha
Natalija [7]

Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.
