Would fluorine form a positive or a negative ion?

1 answer:

8 0

It would form a negative ion... it lacks 1 e in its valence shell., it is easier for F to accept an e than to shed all existing 7.
e= electron

What passes through the Haversian canal

Tamiku [17]

A Haversian canal is referred to as any minute tube, which forms a network in a bone and also contains blood vessels. Blood vessels, nerve fibers and lymphatics may pass through the Haversian canal. Haversian canals are found surrounding blood vessels and nerve cells all over the bones and interacts with bone cells from end to end networks known as canaliculi.

Molybdenum (Mo) has a body centered cubic unit cell. The density of Mo is 10.28 g/cm3. Determine (a) the edge length of the unit

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

For a: The edge length of the unit cell is 314 pm

For b: The radius of the molybdenum atom is 135.9 pm

Explanation:

For a:

To calculate the edge length for given density of metal, we use the equation:

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

where,

$\rho$ = density = $10.28g/cm^3$

Z = number of atom in unit cell = 2 (BCC)

M = atomic mass of metal (molybdenum) = 95.94 g/mol

$N_{A}$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}$

a = edge length of unit cell =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10.28=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times (a)^3}\\\\a^3=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times 10.28}=3.099\times 10^{-23}\\\\a=\sqrt[3]{3.099\times 10^{-23}}=3.14\times 10^{-8}cm=314pm$
