Question

The metallic radius of an aluminum atom is 143 pm. What is the volume of an aluminum atom in cubic meters?

Answer 1

Answer:

6.61 × 10∧-29 m³

Explanation:

Given data:

Atomic radius= 143 pm = 143 × 10∧-12 m

volume = ?

Formula:

r = a/2√2

143 × 10∧-12 m = a/ 2√2

a= 143 × 10∧-12 m × 2√2

a= 404.4 × 10∧-12 m

where a is edge length, so we can calculate the volume by using following formula:

volume= a³

V= (404.4 × 10∧-12 m)³

v= 6.61 × 10∧-29 m³
