Question

If you assume that an atom is a hard sphere, you can estimatethe average volume of space it occupies using basic geometry. Estimate the volume, V, of one sodium atom(Na) using its metallic radius of 186 pm . Express your answer in cubicpicometers.

Estimate the volume, V, of one sodium atom(Na) using its metallic radius of 186 pm . Express your answer in cubicpicometers.

Explanation / Answer

volume of a sphere is V =(4/3)r^3 for one sodium atom of metallic radius of 186pmis V = (4/3)(3.14)(186pm)^3    = 2.69x10^7cubicpm this will help
