Question
How many gold atoms lined up in a row would fit in a one nanometer space? (assuming a covalent radius of 0.144nm each)
Solution
To calculate how many gold atoms would fit in a one nanometer space, you would divide the total space by the size of each atom.
- First, convert the size of the gold atom from nanometers to meters. The covalent radius of a gold atom is 0.144 nanometers, which is equivalent to 0.144 x 10^-9 meters.
- Next, divide the total space (1 nanometer, or 1 x 10^-9 meters) by the size of each atom (0.144 x 10^-9 meters).
- The result is approximately 6.94.
So, approximately 7 gold atoms would fit in a one nanometer space.
