1 pm = 10∧-10 cm
Therefore, 230 pm is equivalent to 2.3 ×10∧-8 cm.
Atom is in the shape of a sphere,
The volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Thus, volume of the atom = 4/3π( 2.3 ×10∧-8)³
                                          = 4/3 (3.142 ×12.167×10∧-24
                                           = 5.096 ×10∧-23 cm³
but 1m³= 1000000cm³
Therefore, the volume of the atom = 5.096 ×10∧-29 m³

Carbon-12 contains 6 protons and 6 neutrons. The radius of the nucleus is approximately 2.7 fm (femtometers) and the radius of t
Slav-nsk [51]

Explanation:

Let us assume that volumes is equal to spheres  volume of nucleus.

fm = femto meter = 10^{-15}

pm = pico meter = 10^{-12}

Hence, calculate the volume as follows.

          V = \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^{3}

              = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (2.7)^{3}

              = 82.4481 fm^{3} (cubic femtometers)

or,          = 82 fm^{3}

Now, we will calculate the volume of the atom as follows.

          V = \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times r^{3}

             = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (70)^{3}

             = 1436758.4 pm^{3} (cubic picometers)

thus, we can conclude that volume of the nucleus is 82 fm^{3}  and volume of the atom is 1436758.4 pm^{3}.

Which of the following molecules is diamagnetic according to molecular orbital theory? A) N₂⁺ B) N₂⁻ C) CN D) CN⁻
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

D) CN⁻

Explanation:

    Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity state that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levels (p,d, and f ) singly before pairing commences. Hund's rule is useful in determining the number of unpaired electrons in an atom. As such, it explains some magnetic properties of elements.

An element whose atoms or molecules contain unpaired electrons is paramagnetic. i.e., weakly attracted to substances in a magnetic field.

On the other hand, the element whose atoms or molecules are filled up with paired electrons is known as diamagnetic, i.e., not attracted by magnetic substances.

According to the molecular orbital theory, the diamagnetic molecule is CN⁻ because of the absence of unpaired electrons.
