Answer :

(a) Total number of atoms in the cell = 6

(b) The coordination number of HCP is, 12

(c) The atomic packing factor is, 74.0 %

Explanation :

<u>Hexagonal close-packed structure (HCP) :</u>

Crystal structure : The manner in which the atoms or ions are spatially arranged.

(a) The HCP unit cell consist of three primitive unit cells in a hexagonal prism. That means, 3 atoms are in the middle layer and 12 atoms are at top and bottom layers and 2 face atoms.

So, the total number of atoms in the cell = 3 + (1/2)×2 + (1/6)×6 × 2 = 6

(b) Coordination number : It is defined as any constituent particle in a crystal is the number of its nearest neighbours.

The coordination number of HCP is, 12

(c) Packing fraction or factor : It is defined as the percentage of the total space filled by the particles.

\text{Packing factor}=\frac{n\times V_{atom}}{V_{cell}}\times 100

\text{Packing factor}=\frac{6\times (\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)}{24\sqrt{2}r^3}\times 100

\text{Packing factor}=74.0\%

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

2s^2 2p^2

Explanation:

Group 4A contains a total of 4 electrons for each atom in their valence shell. Filling the orbital diagram, let's say, for carbon, notice that when we start with period 2, we have two elements in the s-block, that is, lithium and beryllium. They correspond to the two s electrons that belong to the valence shell of carbon.

Moving on, we have boron and carbon, the remaining 2 electrons. Now, starting with boron, we're in the p-block.

That said, looking at the second period, the electron configuration for the valence shell of a group 4A element would be:

2s^2 2p^2

What is Keq for the reaction N₂ + 3H2 = 2NH3 if the equilibrium
hram777 [196]

The Keq for the reaction N₂ + 3H2 = 2NH3 if the equilibrium concentrations are Keq = 1.5. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is Keq?</h3>

Keq is the ratio of the concentration of reactant to the concentration of the product.

The balanced equation is

N₂ + 3H₂  = 2NH₃

The equilibrium constant is \rm \dfrac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2]\; [H_2]^3}

The given concentrations of the compounds have been:

Ammonia = 3 M

Nitrogen = 1 M

Hydrogen = 2 M

\rm \dfrac{9}{1\times 8} = 1.5

Thus, the correct option is D. Keq = 1.5.

A "fizz saver" pumps air under pressure into a soda bottle to keep gas from escaping. will this keep co2 in the soda bottle? exp
timofeeve [1]
<span>A fizz saver forms an airtight seal around the now-upsidedown soda bottle, and the pressure exerted by the drink and the atmospere outside pushes out the drink through the slightly-elevated spout. The CO2 gas does not fizz out because it stays at the bottom of the upside-down bottle. Thus the CO2 gas is trapped and the drink is carbonated at a longer time.</span>
