Answer:

The length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm

Explanation:

Face centered cubic structure contains 4 atoms in each unit cell and 12 coordination number, occupying about 74% volume of the total cell. Face centered cubic structure is known for efficient use of space for atom packing.

To determine the edge length, a relationship between the radius of the atom and edge length is used.

X = R√8

Where;

X is the length of an edge of this unit cell

R is the radius of the gold atom = 144 pm = 144 X 10⁻¹² m

X = 144 X 10⁻¹²√8

X = 407.294 X 10⁻¹² m

X = 407.294 pm

Therefore, the length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm

Which of the following is not found in the nucleus of an atom?
photoshop1234 [79]

<span>The correct answer is the first option. Electron is not found in the nucleus of an atom. The sub-atomic particles of an atom are the proton, electron and the neutron. An electron has a charge of -1 and a smaller mass than a proton. Proton has the same mass with the neutron. The ratio between the mass of a proton and an electron is about 2000. An electron has an equal value but negative charge with the proton.</span>

The mass of .10 moles of iron is:
Stels [109]

Answer:

<em>so mass in gram=560grams</em>

Explanation:

number of moles=10moles

molar mass=56grams/moles

mass in gram of Fe=?

as we know that

number of moles=\frac{mass in gram}{molar mass}

<em>evaluating the formula</em>

<em>number of moles×molar mass=mass in gram</em>

<em>mass in gram=10moles×56grams/moles</em>

<em>mass in gram=560grams</em>

<em>i hope this will help you :)</em>
