Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe

r of copper is about 25% higher than that of vanadium.
What would you predict about the relative densities of these two metals? Look up the densities in a reference book, periodic table, or on the Web.
Are your predictions correct?

<span>There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

</span><span>Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons;  density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.</span>

Determine the mass of SO₂ that contains 6.075 × 10^26 S atoms.​
Misha Larkins [42]

Avogadro's law states that in a mole of any substance, there are 6.022 \times 10^{23} atoms. This means that in the given sample, there are

\frac{6.075 \times 10^{26}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}=1008.8010627 \text{ mol}

  • The atomic mass of sulfur is 32.06 amu.
  • The atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 amu.

So, the atomic mass of sulfur dioxide is

32.06+2(15.9994=64.0588 \text{ g/mol}

Therefore, the mass is:

(64.0588)(1008.8010627)=\boxed{64620 \text{ g (to 4 sf)}}

Which is a homogeneous mixture
klemol [59]
A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that is mixed so well together that you cannot see the different components that make up the mixture as the ingredients will not separate out, even over time.
