Question

A sample of gaseous neon atoms at atmospheric pressure and $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \mathrm{con}$ tains $2.69 \times 10^{22}$ atoms per liter. The atomic radius of neon is 69 $\mathrm{pm} .$ What fraction of the space is occupied by the atoms themselves? What does this reveal about the separation between atoms in the gaseous phase?

Step 1

The atomic radius of neon is 69 pm, so the diameter is 2 * 69 pm = 138 pm. To convert this to meters, we multiply by 1 x 10^-12 m/pm, so the diameter is 138 x 10^-12 m. The volume of a sphere is given by the formula V = (4/3)πr^3, so the volume of one neon atom Show more…
