Volume fraction = volume of the element / volume of the alloy
Volume = density * mass
Base: 100 grams of alloy
mass of tin = 15 grams
mass of lead = 85 grams
volume = mass / density
Volume of tin = 15g / 7.29 g/cm^3 = 2.06 cm^3
Volume of lead = 85 g / 11.27 g/cm^3 = 7.54 cm^3
Volume fraction of tin = 2.06 cm^3 / (2.06 cm^3 + 7.54 cm^3) = 0.215
Volume fraction of lead = 7.54 cm^3 / (2.06 cm^3 + 7.54 cm^3) = 0.785
As you can verify the sum of the two volume fractions equals 1: 0.215 + 0.785 = 1.000
Answer: penetration is the ability of an electron in a given orbital to approach the nucleus closely. Shielding refers to the fact that core electrons reduce the degree of nuclear attraction felt by the orbital electrons. Shielding is the opposite of penetration. The most penetrating orbital is the least screening orbital. The order of increasing shielding effect/decreasing penetration is s<p<d<f.
Explanation:
The order of penetrating power is 1s>2s>2p>3s>3p>4s>3d>4p>5s>4d>5p>6s>4f....
Since the 3p orbital is more penetrating than the 3d orbital, it will lie nearer to the nucleus and thus possess lower energy.
