An atom moving at its root mean square velocity at 100. °C has a wavelength of 3.78 × 10⁻¹¹ m. Which atom is it? Give the name of the element.

A high-energy particle scattered from the nucleus of an atom helps determine the size and shape of the nucleus. For best results, the de Broglie wavelength of the particle should be the same size as the nucleus (approximately $10^{-14} \mathrm{m}$ ) or smaller. If the mass of the particle is $6.6 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{kg}$, at what speed must it travel to produce a wavelength of $10^{-14} \mathrm{m} ?$
