Iron has a density of 7.86 g/cm3 (1 cm3=1 mL). Calculate the volume (in dL) of a piece of iron having a mass of 3.26 kg . Note t

Mkey [24]

$d=7,86\frac{g}{cm^{3}}=7,86\frac{0,001kg}{0,01dL}=0,786\frac{kg}{dL}\\
m=3,26kg\\\\\\
d=\frac{m}{V} \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{3,26kg}{0,786\frac{kg}{dL}}\approx4,15dL$

Why do you elements in the same group have similar properties

lozanna [386]

Answer:

They have similar properties, because they share similar amounts of electrons in their outer shell, valence electrons! This means they will only be able to interact with other elements with those electrons so they often show similar properties.
