Question

An atom of rhodium (Rh) has a diameter of about $2.7 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{cm} .$ (a) What is the radius of a rhodium atom in angstroms (A) and in meters $(\mathrm{m}) ?$ (b) How many Rh atoms would have to be placed side by side to span a distance of 6.0$\mu \mathrm{m}$ ? (c) If you assume that the Rh atom is a sphere, what is the volume in $\mathrm{m}^{3}$ of a single atom?

Step 1

- Given the diameter of a rhodium atom is $2.7 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{cm}$. - The radius is half of the diameter. \[ \text{Radius} = \frac{2.7 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{cm}}{2} = 1.35 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{cm} \] Show more…
