Answer:

Radius of the interior sphere = 3.847 nm

Explanation:

The volume of the shell (Vs) is equal to the difference of the volume of the outer sphere (Vo) and the volume of the inner sphere (Vi). Then:

V_s=V_o-V_i=V_i\\V_o=2*V_i\\

If we express the radius of the outer sphere (ro) in function of the radius of the inner sphere (ri), we have (e being the shell thickness):

r_o=r_i+e

The first equation becomes

\frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_o^{3}  = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3}  \\\\\frac{4 \pi}{3}*(r_i+e)^{3}  = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3}  \\\\(r_i+e)^{3}  = 2 *r_i^{3}  \\\\(r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3})=2r_i^{3}\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3}=0\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}+3r_i+1=0

To find ri that satisfies this equation we have to find the roots of the polynomial.

Numerically, it could be calculated that ri=3.847 nm satisfies the equation.

So if the radius of the interior sphere is 3.847 nm, the volume of the interior sphere is equal to the volume of the shell of 1nm.

Where is almost all the mass of an atom​

The nucleus!! This is made up of protons and neutrons that each weigh about 1 amu.

Electrons are not found in the nucleus and weigh almost nothing so chemistry in school doesn’t bother with them :)

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

<em>What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron </em>is<u><em> energy</em></u><em>.</em>

Explanation:

The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.

The <em>valence electrons</em> are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.

So, a <em>nonvalence electron</em> occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.

This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.
