Answer:

(a) a = 5.08x10⁻⁸ cm

(b) r = 179.6 pm  

Explanation:

(a) The lattice parameter "a" can be calculated using the following equation:

\rho = \frac{(N atoms/cell)*m}{V_{c}*N_{A}}      

<em>where ρ: is the density of Th = 11.72 g/cm³, N° atoms/cell = 4, m: is the atomic weight of Th = 232 g/mol, Vc: is the unit cell volume = a³, and </em>N_{A}<em>: is the Avogadro constant = 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol. </em>

Hence the lattice parameter is:  

a^{3} = \frac{(N atoms/cell)*m}{\rho *N_{A}} = \frac{4 atoms*232 g/mol}{11.72 g/cm^{3} *6.023 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol} = 1.32 \cdot 10^{-22} cm^{3}

a = \sqrt[3]{1.32 \cdot 10^{-22} cm^{3}} = 5.08 \cdot 10^{-8} cm

(b) We know that the lattice parameter of a FCC structure is:

a = \frac{4r}{\sqrt{2}}

<em>where r: is the atomic radius of Th</em>

Hence, the atomic radius of Th is:

r = \frac{a*\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{5.08 \cdot 10^{-8} cm*\sqrt{2}}{4} = 1.796 \cdot 10^{-8} cm = 179.6 pm    

I hope it helps you!

4) The atoms are neutral (neither positive nor negative) because there are the same number of electrons and protons and their charge are of the same magnitude but different sign: (+) + (-) = 0: positive + negative = neutral.</span>

How is earth's mantic field similar to that of a bar magnet
Alika [10]

Answer:The outer core of the Earth contains a lot of iron in a molten state. As the Earth spins this molten iron moves and creates the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth behaves as if there is a huge bar magnet at its centre. The shape of the field around the Earth is very similar to the field around a bar magnet
