Description
What is the volume of the atom of an element that crystallizes as a body-centered cube if the volume of the unit cell is 1.97 x 10-22 cm3 ?
I need step by step please
Explanation & Answer
Atoms are the tiny, complex building blocks of all matter. In a chemistry or physics class you might be asked to calculate the volume of an atom. This calculation is often done as a preparatory step in a more complex calculation to determine the volume of the atom's nucleus. Although the study of atoms can be difficult, the calculation of an atom's volume is not.
The atom is simply explained to be in the shape of cube.
"A unit cell" simply means that the atom has several cells but each one of them is 1.9 to the power of negative 22 cm cubed.
To calculate the volume, which is cubed shape, find the dimensions by using the provided volume cm3.
Calculate the cubic radius of an atom by multiplying the atomic radius by itself three times. For example, if the atomic radius is 5, you would multiply 5 by itself three times, which equals a cubic radius of 125.
Hope that helps
