Polonium, the Period 6 member of Group 6A(16), is a rare radioactive metal that is the only element with a crystal structure bas

ed on the simple cubic unit cell. If its density is 9.232 g/cm3, calculate an approximate atomic radius for polonium―209.

Answer:

Approximate atomic radius for polonium-209 is 167.5 pm .

Explanation:

Number of atom in simple cubic unit cell = Z = 1

Density of platinum = 9.232 g/cm^3

Edge length of cubic unit cell= a = ?

Atomic mass of Po (M) = 209 g/mol

Formula used :  

\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}

where,

ρ = density

Z = number of atom in unit cell

M = atomic mass

(N_{A}) = Avogadro's number  

a = edge length of unit cell

On substituting all the given values , we will get the value of 'a'.

9.232 g/cm3=\frac{1 \times 209 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}\times (a)^{3}}

a = 3.35\times 10^{-8} cm

Atomic radius of the polonium in unit cell = r

r = 0.5a

r=0.5\times 3.35\times 10^{-8} cm=1.675\times 10^{-8} cm

1 cm = 10^{10} pm

1.675\times 10^{-8} cm=1.675\times 10^{-8}\times 10^{10}=167.5 pm

Approximate atomic radius for polonium-209 is 167.5 pm.

Answer:

Explanation:

Not enough information.

IF we ASSUME she wants the car to be at LAUNCH LEVEL after 1 second of flight.

THEN

The highest point will have zero vertical velocity and will have taken ½ second to get there. This means that the initial vertical velocity was

v = gt

vy₀ = 9.8(0.5)

vy₀ = 4.9 m/s

vsinθ = vy₀

v = vy₀/sinθ

v = 4.9/sin32

v = 9.2466...

v = 9.2 m/s
