Explanation Given info: The spacing of adjacent atoms in a crystal of sodium chloride is 0.282 nm and the mass of sodium chloride is 3.82 × 10 − 26 kg and the mass of the chlorine atom is 5.89 × 10 − 26 kg . Write the expression for volume of an atom occupies a cube. V = ( a ) 3 (1) Here, V is the volume of the atom a is the side length of the cube where atom occupies Substitute 0.282nm for a in equation (1)to find V . V = ( 0.282 nm × 1 m 10 9 nm ) 3 = ( 0.282 × 10 − 9 m ) 3 = 2.24 × 10 − 29 m 3 The NaCl contains equal number of Na and Cl atoms and the average mass of atoms in NaCl crystal is given by m = 1 2 ( m N a + m C l ) (2) Here, m is the average mass of atoms in NaCl crystal m N a is the mass of sodium atom m C l is the mass of the chlorine atom Substitute 3.82 × 10 − 26 kg for m N a and 5.89 × 10 − 26 kg for m C l in equation (2) to find m

In solid KCI the smallest distance between the centers of a. potassium ion and a chloride ion is 314 pm. Calculate the length of the edge of the unit cell and the density of KCI, assuming it has the same structure as sodium chloride.

According to a new spectroscopy analysis, the adjacent bond vectors was found to be A = 1.07i + 0.83j + 0.81k B = 1.03i + -0.99j + -0.85k What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?

However, the molecule we can encounter everyday continuously vibrates and interact with the surrounding causing its bond vector to vary slightly. According to a new spectroscopy analysis, the adjacent bond vectors was found to be A = 0.82i + 0.99j + 0.84k B = 1.09i + -1.01j + -0.97k What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?
