Explanation:
General representation of an element is given as:_Z^A\textrm{X}
where,
Z represents Atomic number
A represents Mass number
X represents the symbol of an element
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.
Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
In an atom, when neutrons or protons are lost or gains, it directly affects the mass number of an atom.
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.
It is characteristic of a particular element.
Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of proton
a) Z 74, A 186:
b) Z 80, A 201:
c) Z 34, A 76:
d) Z 94, A 239.:
Answer:
Density of unit cell ( rhodium) = 12.279 g/cm³
Explanation:
Given that:
The radius (r) of a rhodium atom = 135 pm
The atomic mass of rhodium = 102.90 amu
For a face-centered cubic unit cell,
where;
a = edge length.
Making "a" the subject of the formula:
a = 381.8 pm
to cm, we get:
a = 381.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ cm
However, recall that:
where;
mass of unit cell = mass of atom × numbers of atoms per unit cell
Also;
Recall also that number of atoms in a unit cell for a face-centered cubic = 4
So;
mass of unit cell = 6.83380375 × 10⁻²² g
Density of unit cell ( rhodium) = 12.279 g/cm³
